Legal Question in Family Law in Arizona
Child support
If my rights as a parent to my son were severed,not because of endangerment or drugs the typical reasons,how can they make me pay child support still.after 10 years my job got a notice saying I owe 23,000$ in back and that I had to start paying.wouldn't that be void as of the date my rights were severed?doesn't severed mean I'm legally or in the eyes of the law not his parent anymore?How can they still make me pay?

Re: Child support
Only an actual adoption terminates your obligation to pay child support.
Perhaps there is a way to force the adoption.
I can explain the issues and procedures better by phone or in person. As you can imagine, there is too much to cover via e'mail. We offer free 1/2 hour consultations, in which we can discuss the matter in more detail
Please call me directly to discuss the specifics of your case, or contact my assistant Alicia or my paralegal Jennifer to schedule a free 1/2 hour consultation.
