BACK CHILD SUPPORT FROM 20 YEARS AGO
by: Anonymous

there is a legal defense called Latches, you sit on your rights too long and you lose them, some states don't allow a Latches defense for back child support. as for myself, I just finishing a losing court battle with my ex-wife, my son is 34 years old. 20 years ago, I was a drunk and strung out on drugs and my ex said if i just stayed away she wouldn't push for support.

I agreed and didn't see my son again till he was 18, at time I quit drinking and doing drugs and went back to college received a degree and was hired by Intel. My ex-wife was more interested in hurting me than the well being of our son and did a first rate job of alienating him from me. For the past 15 years I have tried to heal our relationship and failed.

He had a son with his girlfriend who now lives in a different state, when i tried to establish a relationship with my grandson my ex petitioned the court for back child support after 20 years of not saying a word.

She was asking the court for $56,000. I got a Chicago lawyer who told me to make a payment plan, i went to another lawyer who told me about Latches, but he turned out to be a crook so i fired him and went with another lawyer. When I went to court in Chicago, I live in New Mexico, my ex didn't even show up and talk to her lawyer by phone.

I asked how come i have to fly half way across the country to be here and she only lives down the street and gets to use a phone? My lawyer pressured me into taking a deal that i really didn't want to take. A few hours later at the airport, i call her and told her i changed my mind, she said it was too late.

I ended up paying her $2000, $300 a month till $23,000 is recovered, I feel if i could have had my day in court and stated my case, I feel a judge may not have toss out the case, but i think i would have received a little fairer settlement

Child Support

I never have been able to get Texas nor Oklahoma do anything about my child support. My daughter is now 37 years old. I have tried the child support agencies to no avail. They have told me there was nothing I could do because he was self employed. I now have learned they could have filed a judgement for me and sent this to the IRS, then I would have received his income tax returns.

I feel like I have the right to sue both states for not assisting me in getting the child support. I think all of this is just a joke! Men can still get away with not paying child support. I don't care what you have done with your life, it is still your responsibility to help support your child. Why was it so easy for you to forget about the child and walk away?
