Legal Question in Family Law in California

child support and welfare assistance

the mother of my three children was recently laid off from her job and will try to collect welfare assistance. we are currently in the process of getting a ordered amount of child support and have already filed with the court. The order will include paying back for state assistance she recieved 7 yrs ago for our oldest son. I was wondering if she receives assistance now will I have to pay it back also? I am paying her child support now with out the court order. Will that matter?
