08-INF-16: Non-parent Caregivers and Good Cause
The purpose of this Informational Letter (INF) is to reiterate to local social services districts that non-parent caregivers have the right to claim good cause for failure to cooperate with child support enforcement and to provide clarification on when “special considerations related to emotional harm” should be applied in non-parent caregiver situations. It is also to emphasize to districts that non-parent caregivers can seek a domestic violence waiver if complying with child support requirements would result in physical or emotional harm to themselves or the child.
