Re: child support

You won't be ordered to pay anything back. Once you started working, the father could have filed a petition to reduce the amount of support, which if granted could have taken effect no earlier than the petition filing date. Of course, he could still do that, but at $400/mo for 2 children he is probably paying less than he should anyway.
