Child support will be set by the court w/in the next few months in the state of Oklahoma. The mother has been on welfare since prior to the child's birth. I'm just curious if what I pay will go to the state for reimbursement or if I have to pay the support to the mother + the state reimbursement. I'm positive she'll be on welfare long term.

Food stamps are not reimbursed by child support.
Medicaid is only reimbursed if medical support is listed specifically in the child support decree.
Temporary Assistance to Needy Families is only reimbursed/recovered back to the court order date. Example: she received TANF for 5 years, but your first child support order date is March 07, the child support would not be used for reimbursement of TANF payments from Feb 07 and prior.
If she continues to receive TANF, only the current child support obligation paid above the TANF amount would be sent to her. (States no longer 'disregard' the first $50 of child support paid. This was the $50 child support check cited earlier. This ended soon after welfare reform was passed in 96.)
You will not have to pay both the monthly obligation and TANF reimbursement. What you are ordered to pay in the court order is what you pay.
The order will say monthly obligation, processing fees to state and employer (MS this is usually $5/mo state and $2/paycheck to employer for withholding), arrears (if you fall behind), and court costs. So for example: momma receives $292 TANF, you pay $350 child support. Dispersement: $292 back to state for recovery of TANF, $5 to state for fees, $2 to your job for the withholding, and assuming no outstanding court costs, $51 to her.

I believe you are not responsible for the welfare amount paid to her before the child was born. The child support you pay her will go directly to her. Some states do not have you pay until the child is born and only for the child support. If you had the child and then she went on welfare, they would have you pay her and an extra would be charged to pay back the state for the welfare that she collected while you weren't paying the child support.

In child support, everything goes to the child's custodial parent. If the parent receives welfare the state will adjust the welfare support. If they feel she has enough child support they will remove welfare privileges from her. Once the courts sets child support, which can be reduced or increased, depending on the fathers income, most welfare recipients checks are dissolved or reduced

You will have to pay welfare for what was used as child support, you are not required to support the mother of the child. I suggest you discuss this with a lawyer.

well the honor system doesnt work, thats been proven. thats also why the states and federal government passed strong laws regarding child support.
NO SHE WONT- be on welfare long term, because the other parent will be paying support, so.... then she CANT qualify for it.
thats why the state goes after deadbeats today. they are tired of parents not paying for their children, tired of paying for them. thats why there are strict laws pertaining to child support, to avoid a parent being able to collect welfare money.
in any case, if she isnt sent support, she will be forced onto welfare... and welfare will go after that deadbeat worse then the IRS.... as it should be.

when i was on state aid (10 years ago) all the child support went to the state except $50.00. that went to me. i think it might be different in each state.
