My ex-wife is $122,476.23 in support arrears in New York city. She is on welfare, she just called my 15 year old son after approx. 5 years of no idea where she was, am I entitled to some sort of piece of her welfare for support? I went to nyc family court and the support collection unit told me she is on public assistance. And even have an address for her.am I waisting my time serving her to court, she has nothing and is on welfare.

If the amount is documented arrears then they will last a lifetime. No your not entitled to get any of the welfare money. That is public money given for assistance.
