BM is commiting fraud
As I've posted in previous blogs BM has been kicked out of her house. SDs are living with BM's mother and BM claims to not be living there. Knowing this worthless woman SDs will probably be living there for a long time, considering it means a free babysitter of course. BM had asked prior to getting kicked out if SDs could live here. SO said, "yes as long as you sign temporary custody over." She flipped out and refused to sign anything because it would mean an end to her child support, food stamps, and medical card. She sent them to live with her mother without having to sign a thing. SDs are with her mother, not her, and she is still receiving all of these things most likely without giving her mother anything [MAYBE some food stamps] or notifying public aid .
My question is, is there anyway we can report her for fraud? Or even, possibly, get custody of SDs?
EDIT: It is the CS that my SO is angry about, not food stamps/medical card. That is the fraud I'm referring to. Just to clear a few things up. I don't care what she does or doesn't give her mother. The point is that she's not living with SDs. I was just stating that she is the type of person to leave her kids with nothing as long as she was OK. Sorry for any misunderstanding.

I agree with HRNYC, they may
I agree with HRNYC, they may or may not have an agreement but it's between them. If it were me, I would have gotten them and then took action.
I never asked if it was of my
I never asked if it was of my concern, I asked if it was fraud. Which it is. I couldn't care less what she gives her mother, I was simply stating that it was probably nothing because she's the type of person to do that. She is still not living there with her children. My SO is paying child support to someone that doesn't even have her kids, which is very irritating. More for him than me. He is extremely mad about it, and would like to 'take action'. The problem is, he doesn't know what action to take. So I came here for advice.
No, it's not fraud. BF is
No, it's not fraud. BF is ordered to pay $XXX to BM for the support of his children.
Period. Court ordered.
If he wants to change that, he needs to go back to court. BM isn't doing anything wrong by receiving it.
So there's really nothing he
So there's really nothing he can do even though she's not living with them or taking care of them besides take her back to court?
That really sucks. Lol.
I'm in Texas and I actually
I'm in Texas and I actually asked what to do to change custody. They said I would have to have my kids for 6 months before I can take action. I will still be responsible for child support up until that 6 months.
I am in Illinois. I wonder if
I am in Illinois. I wonder if it is the same here? I will have to look into that. Thank you.
I am also in TX and I have
I am also in TX and I have never heard of such a thing. You file a motion in court and go to court to change custody. You don't have the kids for 6 months, pay support and then do something.
I know a dad that just had a jury trial and got custody of his 7 year old son...like last week.
This is actually an excellent
This is actually an excellent legal tactic to use if you have a wishy washy BM who send the kids to you all the time & yet refuses to give up custody because of the money. 6 months is considered status quo & courts are reluctant to change status quo without good reason. So... even if your court ordered time is EOW & 1 weekday visit but BM ships the skids to you 4-7 nights a week, you could file & likely be given that time BUT you must be able to prove it... Homework books that you can sign off on, for example, are excellent.
It is fraud and she is
It is fraud and she is defrauding the taxpayers. I know she should have a case worker working her benefits case. Her living situation would absolutely affect the amount of $$ she gets from the state.
The kids should be with him not grandma. He needs to speak to someone about this and file a motion.
I agree 100% that they should
I agree 100% that they should be with him. BM is only leaving them with her mother to spite SO since he wouldn't keep paying her child support while they were living here.
I'm in IL too, go to court
I'm in IL too, go to court get an emergency order for temporary custody due to the children being left with grandma, you don't need BM's permission to do this. Take custody and file for a cs modification the courts can order this BM can try and fight it grandma can try and fight it but the courts order custody when there is a dispute. Yes you can report that her children are not living with her here: http://www.state.il.us/agency/oig/reportfraud.asp
doesn't mean she will lose it but they will likely investigate if you have enough evidence she is getting benefits for children she doesn't have
Thank you very much for your
Thank you very much for your help!
