Can the court in NYS order you to pay child support when you have food stamps?

My babys father filed for child support payments, and I was wondering if, since I'm on food stamps and havde health care through the government, if the court would make me pay. And if they will, will it be below the 17% they normally take out of a paycheck?Can the court in NYS order you to pay child support when you have food stamps?You have to pay child support if you have a noncustodial child whether or not you are on food stamps. Just because you don't have a decent job doesn't mean your child doesn't need support. They wouldn't accept this excuse from dads and they won't accept it from you. Get a second job if you have to. Take responsibility for your own flesh and blood.Can the court in NYS order you to pay child support when you have food stamps?No. You still have to pay for the baby you made. Also, heaven help you if you liked to SS about the child living with you (I know a girl who did that and once her child support case went through they notified SS that she had lied about having custody and she got cut off from food stamps).

If you need to get a second job. Since you don't have a child to care for you can work twelve hour days like I do. Since I am pay for your health care, I hope you will use it to get birth control.Can the court in NYS order you to pay child support when you have food stamps?Yes. The court can garnish any income you have (up to a certain percent) to pay for child support.
