I want to cancel my child support order in the state of nh but they cannot because of my medicaid.. I want to get rid of my medicaid.. How do I do that? And do I get to keep my food stamps?

You yourself can't cancel a Court Order. You can get another Order replacing the first.

From what I'm reading food stamps and Medicaid are separate BUT household income is considered in the food stamp award. I doubt that NH will give you food stamps when you decline support from another source (the child's father). New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services (http://www.dhhs.nh.gov/)

Why do you want to cancel the Order? There may be another way to accomplish your goal.
