I dont want to put my childs father on child support because we plan on taking care of our child in the same household but i dont want to be jammed on assistance for my son if we need it.

Freelancers mostly count as self-employed, but freelance teachers are a exception in this European country: They must pay social security (almost 20% of their income into retirement, health insurance on top of that).

She should contact George Legal Aid to see about the Medical Assistance. Rules were changed to expand it. She should apply for SSI if she hasn't already.
How would I calculate the amount?
