Your facts are pretty confusing. If someone with custody of one of your children applied for welfare, yes it is very possible that the state will look to you for reimbursement. You could, of course, file a motion to modify the support obligation -- even using forms through the family law self-help center. See http://www.familylawselfhelpcenter.org/. If you are not sure what to do, you should chat with a family law specialist. If you have no other access to legal assistance, consider going to one of the Thursday afternoon (free) sessions of Ask-A-Lawyer at family court.
