QUESTIONS

  • Due to domestic violence/ child support I have received permanent guardianship of my 16 year old niece. Her Mother is still paying child support to the Father in another county.

  • How come I am Being served with child support through DES? Also my son who is disabled is covered through the state, there is no child care expenses and clothes and food is split. The mother of our kids makes 30$+ an hour as a nurse can you even file for cash assistance making that much? And it seems like you could just file online and someone gets screwed because des believes the application who filed. I am not a dead beat Dad and I am so active in my kids lives...

Do we have to his written consent to proceed with the adoption? Is there a legal way to contact him to get the form signed?
