D.S.S. is not required to pay child support, but the parents certainly can (and should) be required to do so. If the caseworker is not helpful, then you should contact his/her supervisor to discuss these issues and get a definite answer.
These are complex issues, and it is important that they be handled correctly. Therefore, it is important that you consult an experienced family law attorney to find out what options are available to you based on the facts of your particular case.
