A freind that is 64 years old is being taken to court for 40 year old child suport. Hi ex wife,the mother claimed children that are not his to him and collected wellfair. Now the state has put over $60.000 in intrest on the debt and wants it now. He could have been found at any time before, he has allwas lived within a 70 mile area and even worked for the fire dept. Do to the fact they never contacted him before now would laches defence not work ?

He may have a good defense, however, he really needs an attorney to help him on this. Attempting anything on his own may cause him to make admissions that he shouldn't make. Good Luck, Pat McCrary
