Can you receive child support if I am receiving ssi in California
I'm a 44 yr old woman with a 15 yr old son now living with me fulltime and I am on SSI and SSA permanently and cannot work. My ex had 5 yrs to rear our son like a parent should and neglected him completely. He is now with me permanently only by discussion with his father. I asked for financial help as I receive $865 a month and that doesn't care for my needs so how can it pay for him too? I asked for $500 a month when he makes $8000 a month and he grinded me to $375. He is 46 and moved in a 29 yr old girl with 2 toddlers so he is having to pay for them now and once again neglecting responsibility. I cannot support us both on $1300. I don't have a car or a place of my own. So I need help and I think it's time his self absorbed father stepped up to the plate. What are my grounds? Thank you.
