California isnât like that and thatâs where Faith lives. I know that Faith can at the very least get food vouchers and very likely can get health care. They wonât penalize a mother who doesnât know who the father is and the state doesnât have the means to hunt these men down. I donât believe the state is callous enough to deny health care to an innocent child whose mother doesnât know who Dad is. Sorry, that doesnât make sense.If she's using public assistance, they won't allow that. I know of at least one state that requires you to identify the father to get any assistance (e.g. health care). That state covers costs up front then bills the father for them. If the father doesn't pay, the state will sell your debt off to debt collectors and eventually (after a year or so) put you in an ankle bracelet or into the county jail to convince you to start paying your fucking bills. I know a guy that got more than a year of jail time over unpaid child support because he had income and had paid zero child support.
