Your Mother can pursue the back child support. Legally, the money is owed to her, not you. However, if she chooses to give it to you, that is of course OK. Collecting the amounts might have to wait, of course, until he becomes employed. She also should not wait to pursue it, since delays can affect collection.

We can certainly help her consider and then pursue her options.

One of our attorneys can explain the issues and procedures better in person. As you can imagine, there is too much to cover via email. We offer free 1/2 hour consultations, in which we can discuss your matter in detail.

Please call us directly to discuss the specifics of your matter, or contact my assistant Gloria or my paralegal Jennifer to schedule your free 1/2 hour consultation
