Legal Question in Family Law in Arizona
Is there a statute of limitations on the terms outlined in a paternity/custody suit? My son is now 24, and is wanting to take his birth father to court to uphold an agreement made via the suit to pay a pre determined portion of his college expenses for 5 years. His birth father failed to honor the agreement once he graduated high school, and is failing to uphold the agreement now. Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.

I am not sure your son has "standing" to sue. You certainly do, and maybe there is a creative way your son could also be a party as the "beneficiary" to the contract.
We can certainly help you consider and then pursue your options.
