FAILURE/REFUSAL TO COOPERATE WITH CHILD SUPPORT |
|
|
|
If the caretaker, parent of an AU child or
minor parent who is caretaker of his/her own case has failed/refused to
cooperate with Child Support, the child
support worker must determine whether there has been willful
non-cooperation or if there are extenuating circumstances that caused the
problem. These circumstances may
include but are not limited to illness, delay in mail, misunderstanding,
etc. If the child support worker
reviews the circumstances and concludes that the caretaker had extenuating
circumstances, the child support worker will work with the individual to
remedy the reason for non-cooperation: schedule a new appointment, court
date, etc. If the child support worker determines that the individual did not
have a good reason for non-cooperation, the Families First caseworker will be
notified. |
