Legal Question in Family Law in California

Re: Collection of Child Support Overpayment

I am not aware of any statute of limitations. However, this is essentially a debt which would have a 4 years statute of limitations. There is a appellate court case that holds that a man who paid support for several years, as the father of the child, could not sue the agency for a refund, when it was learned that he was not the child's father. He would have to pursue the mother to get hs money back. If father is the one demanding repayment he should have to come after you to collect. If you were receiving aid the county would be owed the money. Assuming that there was not fraud committed by you then the 4 year statute should apply.
