Legal Question in Family Law in Maryland
Child Support from 35 years ago
My father and mother divorced when
I was 14 (I am 50 now). My mother
and I were going through old
documents - she is preparing here
will. She found that my father only
paid child support for 4 out of the 5
kids they have together. I asked my
father about this and he only laughed
and said that his attorney had told to
'only list 4 kids to see if anyone
noticed'. No one noticed at this time.
My question is ca he be forced to pay
back the money owed ?

Your mother should have known about this at the time, so it's way too late to do anything now.
