Q: If me and the father agree on a payment and terminate the court ordered child support, will they cut off my gvmnt assist
Me and the father have been speaking about maybe terminating court ordered child support but I was told they would take my Medicaid and food stamps for them as well and for me
A: It depends. I would contact my child support caseworker and my Medicaid and Food stamps workers and find out what the laws about this are in your jurisdiction. You could lose the benefits by stopping the child support so you need to find out what your workers say about it.
