Legal Question in Family Law in Indiana

does he owe back chid support when she said he's not dad

My husband's ex-wife told him he is not her baby's father when they divorced years ago. now he wants to know if it is his son and would like to see the child. however, we do not have the money for back child support. would he have to pay it if he takes her to court and finds out the boy is his??

Re: does he owe back chid support when she said he's not dad

If he asks for court-ordered visitation, she will definitely ask for support. Whether the court orders it all the way back is up to the court. It may or may not do that, depending on the age of the child, what was said at the time and obviously whether the child really is his.

I would need to know many more facts before giving you a more complete prediction....
