potentially yes because the FL Dept. of Revenue will enforce the support award.

As a general proposition if the custodial parent receives any public assistance (Medicaid, AFDC, food stamps) the Dept of Revenue will go after the other parent for reimbursement; nothing goes to Mom, all back to the Agency.
