Q: How to dismiss a child support case
My Children's mother and I have been taking care of our children seperately since 2017. I had lost my job in 2019, and I had health insurance through the health marketplace, and signed up to get health coverage for both of my youngest children. Not knowing that their health coverage would be covered by the state. Therefore a order of child support was issued against their mother which i wasn't trying to have.
A: If the children are receiving state assistance, you cannot dismiss the child support case. The state, through the county prosecutor's office, will be involved and enforce a child support order.
A: Both parents have legal duty to support their child. If the children are receiving state benefits, then child support order is appropriate.
