I am having these awful thoughts of the kids dad quitting his job and just disappearing. Meaning no child support. I have tried googling it but can not find anything. If he is bipolar could I collect social security for them or veterans benefits if he decides to leave town and go into hiding. His oldest daughter told me he was wanting to move out of state.

I receive SSDI and my children receive a quarter percent of what I am given. It's not taken off the top of my allotment.

I don't know if this answers your question or not.

Not a psychiatrist (pdoc) nor a therapist...what you read are my thoughts and there you go.

My mind is like lightning...one brilliant flash and it's gone.

Diagnosis: Human

Equetro, Clonazepam, Clonidine, Lamotrigine, Xanax (PRN)
