Legal Question in Family Law in California
Hope You Can Help!
Let me back up a little bit. 1993, petitioner left with child while respondent was at work. Took everything and left. Never told respondent where she or child was. Respondent tried to locate but couldn't. Never heard anything from petitioner again until July 2007. Citation left on steps of house. Petitioner applied for TANF in Arizona in February 2006. IV-D case in California where respondent lives now with his partner of 12 years and their 9-year old daughter. There has never been any court-ordered support ever established before. The child in question will be 18 in January 2008. Petitioner abandoned respondent and kept child away from him. Isn't there some law against doing that and then decide 13 years later to get support?

You should fight it. Don't just lay down. Get an attorney. There are too many issues to be able to tell you what to do here, but retain an attorney to figure out the best course of action to take.
