Do I have any legal right to go after child support owed me. Even though I am 37 years old? |
I am 37 and my bio-father whom I've only known for 9 years has decided to say to me " it's just too late to be father and son". I lost my mother in 99 to cancer and 1 year before, she introduced me to him. I know I need to prove paternity. But do I have any legal ground after all these years? He never gave his right up to me and never tried to find me, eventhough I was 10 minutes away most of my life. Nope. Child support applies only until the child in question is 18 years old, and even then, it's paid to the parent with legal custody. You're too late. And I'm not sure why it is that so many of us who are giving the CORRECT answer (a variation on what I stated above) are receiving a thumbs down. I think after so many years theres nothing you can do legally. Talk to a few lawyers.. If it's owed from before you were 18, you MIGHT have a chance.....if you're just looking for it now, forget it. Let it go dude. It will just dredge up old wounds. Just get over it already. You sound like my whiny little brother who couldn't let anything go. You're twice as old as the cut off age for you to receive child support. Why are you bringing this up now? Sounds like you just want to be vindictive for some reason and nothing else. Child support is for the custodial parent to raise the child. Maybe it could be collected for your mom's estate and you could get it that way. You should check with a lawyer |
