If you have proof that she is receiving welfare under another name report this information to the welfare department.

Re: receving welfare -spousal support and child support

I would do a motion for modification of support to reevaluate her true income. If she is receiving welfare then we wouldhave to determine what amount of support she is truly entitled to . It may be lower or it may be correct, as welfare is need based benefits.

As always please consult with a local attorney prior to taking any legal action

Good luck,
