yes
Until they and the interest penalties are paid.
No, the state will take it for back child support. If you are not behind in your support payments, you might get the refund.
You would still be required to pay any back child support as those payments were actually due while the child did not reside with you, and in essence your ex was accepting an iou in lieu of those payments when they should have been paid. Regarding current payments you would need to go back to court to have the child support order modified to reflect the current situation.
The courts may approve you/your Mom's request to waive past-due support.
Child support that is awarded and not paid can be claimed by and adult child. A child support order usually expires when the child turns 18, but anything that is arrears can still be claimed by the child.
Yes, up to 18 years retroactive.
A father cannot petition for emancipation, the child has to. And it doesn't relieve him of paying back support payments.
Once should be enough. "Back" (retroactive) child support is typically awarded (or not) with the entry of the first order for current (ongoing) support.
Yes, back child support is paid until paid in full, regardless the age of the children. There is NO statute of limitation when it comes to child support.
It is dependant on which state that you live in as to if the children are entitled to back child support after they are grown. You will need to consult with your local state child support office so they can better assist you with this question.
Just about forever....the laws really make child support payments unavoidavle by time of bankruptcy, etc. Get 'em!
You don't. Once the child is an adult, child support is moot and the ex is home free.
