Can you collect money from the government for child support? - Paige Parker - 11-09-2012 08:45 PM My husband's only income is unemployment, and he can;t pay his full share of child support. - Ranger4402 - 11-09-2012 08:53 PM Unless you husband is under a garnishment order nothing coming in can be touched. I hate to sound crass but his kid(s) don't stop getting hungry because he does not have a job. - Thargaret Matcher - 11-09-2012 08:53 PM Get a job - tinycattle767 - 11-09-2012 08:53 PM Child support is paid by one or both parents for the support of a child. Public assistance (like TANF) and social insurance programs (like unemployment benefits) are available for families. - redgator - 11-09-2012 08:53 PM Its not the government's job to pay child support. Apply for public assistance. - s and d e - 11-09-2012 08:53 PM You can apply for welfare. Why not get a job? - Ann - 11-09-2012 08:53 PM Nope. That is welfare. - Janet Pierce - 11-09-2012 08:53 PM Tanf is a loan on child support. If you otherwise qualify you can collect Tanf while he is not paying. Keep in mind you assign your child support benefits back to the state for any month you collect Tanf. So in the future when he pays off his arrears you owe that part back and the state will take it directly. - crookedbrush095 - 11-09-2012 08:53 PM All he needs to do is go to child support enforcement and make an official request to modify the order. They are required to help under federal law. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjOJi3aQE3s&list=PLC8077B1999DA0324&index=2&feature=plpp_video http://ChildSupportRights.org/WhatPayersNeed2Know ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬â–​¬â–¬â–¬â–¬â–¬â–¬â–¬â–¬â–¬â–¬â–¬â–¬â–¬â–¬ Federal Child Support Enforcement Handbook for Non-Custodial Parents http://childsupportrights.org/ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬â–​¬â–¬â–¬â–¬â–¬â–¬â–¬â–¬â–¬â–¬â–¬â–¬â–¬â–¬ To learn a father's rights, join Dads House Educational Groups.
