More details to this question:
If I am married to my kid’s father and we live together taking care of the kids, does he still have to pay child support? I do not want him up there, but the state is still trying to pursue him.

You need to inform the state, in writing that you are now living with the father and therefore no more child support transfer needs to occur. However, if you received state benefits for the kids while you were not living together and he did not pay them at the time, he will have to pay that arrearage.

No, if he is living with the child he should file a petition to have child support stopped. He does need to file that petition.

I suspect very strongly that the situation between you and your husband has changed since the order for support went into effect. I would suggest you confer with an attorney and make sure that the orders are correct. There is a possibility that, prior to your marriage, or after it during a time that you were not living together there was a child support obligation, which will be significantly complicated if during that time you were receiving state aid.

If you are receiving state assistance, yes.
