A: The answer to the questions would depend on the what the court papers said.

Did it include past child support, current support, judgements, ect?

Also, while a mother could waive current/ongoing and past child support due to her for the child, she can not waive an amount due to the state (for services) only the money owed to her.

Finally, she could have reapplied for child support.

You should review the paperwork and reach out to the child support department. You call speak to some one in the child support division by calling: (702) 671-9200
