    Default Child Support Office Threating Me with Welfare Fraud

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: kentucky

    Here is the issue... I got married in aug of 2008 we spilt up in oct 2008 due to the stress and depression he went into after is father was murdered and he left the state. Our daughter was born in december 2008 I applied and recieved a welfare check in jan of 2009. Sometime in 2009 the child support office contacted me and asked if I knew where he was I told them since his father was murdered I assumed he went back to his home country. I havent heard from him at this time. About two months later he called me from a flordia area code talking about he was sorry and was planning on coming back to be in his daughter life. I only talked to him one time for about 15 mins and didnt think much about it and didnt think to call the child support office to let them know just didnt cross my mind. He ended up coming back in november of 2009 and did start spending time with his daughter and giving me money. I stopped my welfare on december 4. We are not together now but are very good friends.. He stops by alot and does pay for his daughter. He was served with child support complaint at my house. I went down to the child support office and told them that I wasnt recieving a welfare check and that I didnt want current support on him. The lady tolded me that she thought he was living in the house hold because that was the address he was served at (on mothers day when he was just visiting me for mothers day!!!!) and the address they had obtained on him and asked why I didnt report he was in flordia and she thinks I was committing welfare fraud!!! The only reason I believe they think he lives here is because he wanted my daughter to have cable and put cable in his name at my house. The lady then said if he has cable here he must live there because thats what we would have had to tell the cable but the cable company never asked if he lived in the house!!!! He also parks his car at my house because he has a work truck and lives in a bad neighborhood and is afraid his car would be broke into so I allow him to park his car in front of my house. I have two other kids that are not his and I get support on and because I have little income I do get food stamps and live in public assitance housing and have reported all income he has given me. The lady told me that they were going to investigate and I will lose all my benifits. He his here often to see his daughter because I dont want her in his neighborhood. He understands that he has to pay back all money I recieved while he wasnt here.. I cant afford to lose my other benifits because this woman is jumping to conclusions!!! what do I do???

    So the apparent cohabitation resumed in November of 2009, and you terminated your welfare in December, 2009 or December 2010?

    If he wasn't living with you, he was living somewhere else. Presumably that would mean he can produce a lease, a history of rent payments, a driver's license registered to that address, a vehicle registered to that address, mail and bills going to that address, etc.

    I agree. The child support office didn't just pick your address out of the air to send his notice to. If he's got your address listed as being his residence on just about ANYTHING, then you've got problems.

    it turned out to be fine!! I guess i was just stressing about it. My ex went up their with me and took care of it with some mail and the title to his car and some insurance. However they talked to him a lot nicer than they did me maybe because he didnt let them talk to him like I did. He paid all the back support which was only 2,000.. Just glad everything turned out to be ok thanks for all your advice.
