There is no statute of limitations on the collection of arrears. However, a claim must be maintained in order for the case not to be archived.
If the arrears are a result of a legitimate reason, such as unemployment, he can still motion the court to have them reduced or set aside.
You still owe the money to the other parent who's been paying your share. The debt does not go away just because the child grows up.
As long as they remain established.
the man she was living with was NOT the biological father, but he was under the assumption that he was and was supporting and raising the child as his own. what rights does he have
This is Florida
No. The child's father is the child's father, no matter what relationship he has with the child. Birth certificates record facts, not relationships.
Only if the child has a severe disability.
That would depend on the laws of your State.Generally, the crime of child abandonment occurs when the parent who is charged with the custody and care of the child leaves the child with the intent of abandoning it. Therefore a father who is paying child support is the non-custodial parent and cannot be charged with child abandonment. You can check your state laws at the related link.
His father places him in a boarding school where he stays for a number of years without being allowed home even at holiday time
what do I do if my child's father is no where to be found what do I do if my child's father is no where to be found
When the child is born, attempt to get a DNA test done on the father. If it matches, then file suit in court asking for child support. If awarded by the court, the father will be required by law to provide support for that child until he/she attains the age of 18.
That is dependent of the evidence and whether he was denied access, as happens in 60% of the cases. It's a matter of preparation.
Not likely.
Like ATTORNEYS say; If its not in writing it never happend!
