Not if the claim wasn't kept current, or if there never was an order. Be careful here as a lot of adult children try this only to learn their mothers lied to them.
Child support arrears do not go away. If the state supported his child for a period of time then he must pay the arrears.
Sue him for retroactive child support.
The State can place a lien on the house if the father is on the title.
An unmarried father cannot "choose" to not pay child support. The laws in every state require that a father pay for the support of his child. The mother must bring an action to the appropriate court so that a child support order can be established. Visitation rights are separate and a father can have visitation rights established by the court. Visitation rights are not dependent on paying child support.
The state will not pay child support. The state may grant TANF and/or medical assistance to the child/custodial parent if they are indigent. If so, or at the CP's request, the state will attempt to collect the past-due support.
Petition the court for a modification. If the back support was for any state aid the mother was on, then it can't be forgiven. If it isn't for that, then the mother can write a letter saying she forgives the back support owed to her.
It depends on the rules of your state. In Oregon, yes.
Yes, when either the mother or the state department of revenue files a complaint for child support against him. The court will issue an order that can include back support.
Well if the Bio father is unaware of the baby then I don't believe he has to pay child support because the mom decided that the father didn't need to know about the child and if the child is adopted (like me) either by a step dad or by a different set of parent AND the father know about the child Then the father would need to pay back child support.
If the father was paying you directly, the payments will, of course, cease. If this is the case you must contact the state for assistance. If you were receiving the support payment from the state, then nothing will change and his payments to reimburse the state will become an obligation/lien against him for which he will eventually have to pay the state back.
I doubt there were many child support laws back then. Normally, only the custodial parent of the child can file for child support, not the actual child.
If the Mother has received ANY State assistance, and the Father was NOT paying Child Support at any time...The State has every right to demand repayment.
