My boyfriends son is 18. He has paranoid schizophrenia
And receives $698 monthly in SSI benefits. He is on a waiting list for an apartment that will cost him $120 per month, approx. $80 per month in utilities as well as receive $200 mth in food stamps. He divorced his xwife 3 years ago, prior to the illness. In the divorce he was req'd to pay child support for his son. Now that he will be living on his own and will have over $500 per month after living expenses, can the sate of Indiana order that he continue to pay child support to his son or to the state? His xwife is also trying to get his son declared incapacitated but his case worker says he is absolutely not disabled and they are hoping he will flourish on his own, possibly taking college courses and getting a part time job.
