Q: CAN THE MOTHER PUT CS ON THE FATHER BUT HAS WARRANTS OUT FOR CS ON HERSELF DUE TO NON PAYMENT FOR 4 OTHER CHILDREN?
THE MOTHER HAS 4 OTHER CHILDREN THAT ARE IN THE CUSTODY OF THE BIO FATHER DUE TO HER BEING UNFIT AND SHE RECENTLY HAD A ANOTHER BABY BUT WANTS TO FILE CHILD SUPPORT BUT THE FATHER OF THIS CHILD SUPPORTS THE CHILD... IT IS KNOWN THE MOTHER IS UNFIT AND HAS OUTSTANDING WARRANTS FOR NON PAYMENT FOR CHILD SUPPORT .. CAN SHE STILL FILE FOR SUPPORT EVEN DUE TO HER STATUS AND THE FATHER WANTING TO GET CUSTODY? HE WANTS TO FILE FOR FULL CUSTODY.. WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO?
A: As long as the child is living with the mother, she can ask for child support. If the father wants custody, then he should file immediately, but at the same time pay the mother for any months the child is not in his care.

A: Yes. As long as the child is in her custody, she can seek support. However, if she's unfit to parent, you should consider pursuing custody of the child.
