If a court has ordered a parent to pay child support to DFPS and the child is going to be reunified with that same parent, the caseworker must request that the court revise the child support order to relieve the parent of the support obligation to DFPS while the child is living with that parent.
If the reunification is unsuccessful and the child is returned to foster care, the caseworker must request that the court revise the child support order to reinstate the child support payments to DFPS.
