I have raised my sone for the last 15 years of his life and due to some issues that have come up I am planning to send him home to live with his dad, until he graduates. His father pays child support and is current on the current child support but owes me over $15,000 in back child support. I know his father does not have medical and I'm sure his other children are on Medicaid. I talked to a customer support person at the Child Support office and asked a few questions about Medicaid for my son etc. I was shocked as hell when she told me not to enforce getting him on Medicaid because they would come after me for child support. I'm pissed because he owes me a lot of money in back child support and now they can just tell me they will go after me like that. Does anyone have comments to this??????????????

If your son goes to live with his father then yes you would have to pay the child support. But I think if you tried to get it for him while he lives with you then they would go after the father since if he lives with you then obviously you support him. Although I could be wrong. You may want to talk to a couple more people about this.
