Legal Question in Family Law in Connecticut
My dad received a letter from the CT CCSPC stating he owes $35,000 in outstanding child support from when my brother and I were kids. We're now 27 and 30 years old. My dad always paid the court ordered support amount plus went above and beyond, paying rent, utility bills, etc for us. He was very seriously injured about 10 years ago and is permanently mentally and physically disabled. He doesn't have receipts or anything from all those years ago anymore. To his recollection the court case was ordered sealed so I'm not sure if we'll be able to access any of those documents. The letter says the state can levy his bank account, suspend his driver's license, etc. What can we do?

I have so many questions, I don't know where to begin. Is Mom alive? What does she say about his claim to have paid the child support in kind? Will your brother and you testify that he paid the bills? And about a hundred more questions.....
I think you need to get an attorney. This is a complicated case and can not be answered with a paragraph on here.
