Re: backsupport

You should seek a judgment for the unpaid child support. See if the AG will help you with this. Good Luck,

Re: backsupport

Based on what you have stated, you can file a petition for retroactive child support. Generally, the courts will go back four years and with special cases, the courts can extend or shorten that timeframe. If my law firm can assist you with this legal matter or any other legal issue, please contact my legal assistant Jennifer ([email protected]).
