The law says if you are receiving aid , the money that is paid for child support is due the State and not the mother - except for $50, I believe. If the mother wants the support she has no get off aid. That is what Mother agrees to when she accepted aid.

You can't. Part of his support will be used to pay back public benefits that the mother received, that father should have paid and that state paid for instead.
