My Daughter works for the State of Indiana for the Division of Family Services, and if they are separated (does not need to be legally) then depending on the Moms income the kids could be able to get insurance,Food Stamps and cash assistance (TANIF) and if they are able to get the cash assistance then the State would certainly make sure that the Father was paying some kind of support weekly or he would have to pay all of the TANIF money back to the State...Now these services would only be able to be obtained if the Mom meets the income bracket....And this would be another reason for not saying that SA was living in the home, that is another income that would have to be included.
