Why do I have to pay for my ex wifes welfare fraud?
This isn't a child support issue!
My ex wife went to California and lied about not receiving child support. In turn they granted her welfare.
I was in shock to find out that they started to garnish half my pay. But I understand this process.
After numerous letters and phone calls I was finally referred to the welfare fraud unit and was told to send them the paperwork proving I had in fact been having money sent to her.

She was convicted of numerous counts of welfare fraud. As part of her sentence she must pay back the all money she took.

The problem I am having now is they (Calif) are still holding me responsible for her crime. My credit is ruined, and the garnishments continue. My child is of age now and they are holding me accountable for arrears only on the welfare that she received fraudulently.


1.What is the law that says that I do not have to pay for another person’s crime?

2.What is the law dealing with a double payment as this is what Calif is doing. they are collecting the money back from her and making me also pay the same debt.

3.Is there a law that entitles me to a refund for the money garnished by the state from the state since her entire story was a lie and fraud? Remember that she has been convicted of welfare fraud and child support was paid.

This isn't a child support issue as she was paid support; it is a case of being held unlawfully responsible for another persons crime involving fraud.

So far, I have been only told I need a lawyer, what I am asking is for the US Code that says I can not be held responsible for another persons crime and the others listed above.

Thank You

You sent that information how long ago? What did they decide, and when?
