Communication Doesn't Happen Between Child Support Offices
by: Anonymous

Kim,

There is some federal law that if a mother files for food stamps or AFDC the state has a right to go after the father for repayment. Say your husbands child support order was $200 a month in Tenn., so for she got food stamps or maybe the child had a medical problem and the state paid for it. Just because you move out of the state doesn't mean that they won't come after you from that time, plus interest incurs from that time. What you need to do is get all receipts if you have them that you have paid child support in Kentucky and that you are current, then get any mail that shows that from that time before you met that your husband and his ex-wife resided in the same house. Anything that you can get your hands on from month to month that they lived in the same resident. A phone bill. cell phone bill ones with his name and her name. It's worth asking the company or utilities for past bills if they were in her name and another in his. Then copy and present Tenn. with the evidence. They will not do the leg work to prove you don't owe. If the child was born in Tenn, and she lives in Kentucky and you have moved back to Tenn, that means that Tenn. is the state that oversee your child support case, as long as one parent lives in the state where an original order had been established that is the state that has jurisdiction. So the laws for your case is still Tenn, that's the law. So you need to do some leg work, to prove your case take it in person and call weekly, It took me over four years to get my case in order so good luck.
