So the girlfriend got an order against the father a year ago for him to pay child support which was imputed because he refused to do a financial statement during trial so I was curious since he hasn't been paying anything (won't work to avoid garnishing) and we found out recently hes been on OW a few months can FRO take anything from his monthly checks??

Remember, you can only include income that is for the parent not for the child. Most times its around $600 a month given as assistance to the parent, that is only $7200 a year, well below the guidelines for support.
My cousin who is currently living with me gets $700 a month to live on and that includes her 4 month old baby.

If someone is on OW and they do not receive CS or SS when they should, OW will provide what they need to get an order in place for CS or SS, however I have never heard of someone on OW being required to pay CS. Why? Because the assistance they receive is usually below the guidelines required to pay CS.
