Re: child support
Shoot me an email or call us to discuss your specifics. However, it does often happen like your girlfriend is saying. What happens is that someone who applies for public aid who is also entitled to child support must sign over his/her rights to child support collection to public aid. And then she can't do much about it once she's signed over those rights.
