Say for instance, if a court document asks if you're receiving any public assistance, would C.H.I.P be considered public assistance?

You need to check with the clerks office at the court house.  They normally will be able to direct you to a room withing the court house where they have an approved list of those places where and the type of , community service can be performed.\n\nJust call your local court house, or better yet, take a drive over on Monday and talk to someone in person, it's easier that way.

As a minor, you should have an advocate assigned to you. Petition the judge with a politely written letter.\n\nThe situation is not easy, and in many states Child services is a chronic scandal occasionally rising to the level of criminality.

The old saying 'get it in writing' will probably apply here.  Otherwise, a judge will just view it as hearsay.\n\nSo, if it wasn't in writing, you will have a hard time proving a case about the refusal part, which will open the door to collect the past support.

You would need to contact your local department of health and welfare.  Some states will only consider your income, others consider income for the entire household.  Also, in some states, if you receive child support, they can require you to forfeit that to them for the food stamps (that's how it is in my state).  It all depends on how many people are in the household and the state's guidelines for poverty levels.

You don't ding dong you have to show up at the Medicaid Office, and wait in line to make an appointment. You will then be issued a counselor that will evaluate your case. It is a process to see if you qualify. Otherwise if your starving go to the Salvation Army, or St.Vincents DePauw. These are Catholics that provide help. Conservatives wont help you, they don't even have any programs. The Red Cross is also Catholic. They were the only ones that showed up at Hurricane Katrina. Go figure HUH!!!!

No - this is where he goes into open court, and is formally told what he is being charged with.\nThey will ask him if he understands the charges, and if he has a lawyer. If he doesn't have a lawyer, they will appoint a public defender, and give him an appointment with that public defender.\nIf he gets an appointment with a public defender and doesn't keep  it, he will be found in contempt of court.

According to this Q & A, the food stamps are not taxed by the IRS.  So they shouldn't affect your filing in any way.\n\nI'd check with your case worker (if any) for confirmation.

You can always sue the Children's Aid Society, or any other organization.  The question is "Can I win the lawsuit?"\n\nBased on the limited facts that you have provided, my preliminary answer is No.  The CAS, the police and other governmental organizations acting within their statuory jurisdiction, enjoy a significant degree of immunity, so long as they are acting in good faith.  If you think that they are not acting in good faith, good luck proving it, which you must do.

If it can be disclosed to the public then it can be talked about.  Even if it isn't "public information" there are many reasons why they would talk about case information with people that are not law enforcement.  You talk about being in school, are you even 18?  If you are not then I don't think you will be taking any officers to court.
