Legal Question in Family Law in Kentucky
Paying Back Child Support
My son has a 2 yr old daughter. Paternity has just been established because he is in the Navy stationed in Guam. My son has bought diapers, clothes, etc for his daughter. The mother of the child has said she doesn't want child support, but my son has paid her cell phone, electric bill, and the things for his daughter. We have kept receipts and now we are wondering if she can get back child support?

Re: Paying Back Child Support
Child support is not retroactive prior to the date when a motion to establish child support is filed. However, it is smart to keep receipts.
What would be even smarter, would be to figure up roughly what he would pay and put close to that (minus purchases) in an custodial account for the child or a separate savings/investment account.
