CS in NC...A twist of fate

Then your story is confusing.  

Are you saying that the father is the custodial parent? If so, don't you think that he's paying something?

As for the rest, seems to me that your statement above ought to completely refute the argument that courts are biased and only want fathers to pay, anyway.

Copy and pasted from the very first post:

Bio mom and dad never married, no longer together. The bio mom's STEP mother has primary custody of child.

At one point in time, the bio mom paid some support, and the bio dad paid some support. The bio dad then lost his job, I do not know why, but the end result is that bio dad no longer pays any support, even though he is capable of working.

Even tho the child was receiving medicaid, court ordered bio mom to obtain health insurance, which she did, through work.

The bio mom is now being sued for the full amount of support. Bio dad is sitting somewhere not paying a dime. Is the court "right" in persuing bio mom for the full amount of child support?

Not confusing at all. Wally believed the courts to be biased I believe because he didn't see that the biomom is in fact paying a good share by providing the insurance.

I understand what you are saying about the biomom paying the health insurance and the grandparents going after the father for the CS.  But, unless they are going to ask for the same amt mother pays on insurance, seems both parents should be held accountable.  

 I mean, typically the numbers are crunched and insurance is added into that and split accordingly.  Seems that would have to take place here.  Otherwise, I hope the biofather has a good attorney.

If I were your friend, I would speak to an attorney to make sure the courts cant still come after me....I just dont know if they can ONLY ask for CS from one parent.

They can...because they were originally demanding the whole amount from the bio mom. They had NO case pending against bio dad. And the judge was going to make mom pay the whole amount.

I do believe that when the step -parents  saw what mom was paying for insurance, they decided to go after dad for the dollars. It does indeed, even out the amounts paid by both mom and dad.
