Child Support in Alabama

[anniewalker]

If SHE is living on federal assistance, isn't that a substitute for somebodys support?

I wouldn't think that getting public assistance is a subsitute for support.  Although, again - can of worms - if you receive Child Support as a custodial parent and you also receive public assistance, the DHR can use child support to offset the Public Assistance.

Also, is the father of this child paying child support?

I think that Live A Little's information is the best that we have on the topic.
