Dad just found out he owes big bucks for Tanif daycare benefits the children received over a year ago when they had 50/50 custody. He was paying CS then, but apparently that doesn’t matter. Mom’s arrears are approaching his debt to Tanif. The state plans to garnish him $75 monthly.

When CS was first ordered for mom she had three “free months” to get stabilized and to even out what ever Dad owed mom from benefiting from Tanif (since it covered daycare full time and he was paying $300 mo. to mom.) I don’t know why this wasn’t “official.” Dad thinks that if anything was owed to Tanif, Mom was supposed to pay during her “free” months.

Could he appeal this? Could the amount owed be transferred over to Mom’s arrears? I having trouble understanding why Mom’s wages can’t be garnished yet but Dad’s can start next paycheck.

Also the docket said Mom vs. Dad and the DCF shows up and it’s actually a hearing for TANIF reimbursement. Both parents seemed clueless and thought the hearing was to haggle over their CS dispute.

Mom even said in court, in defense of Dad, that she was only paying $20 a month towards CS. Score a few points to Mom. DCF said they had no idea dad had custody and they shouldn't have hidden that from them. WTF? And that its does not matter. He owes and CS is separate.
