Re: can they dismiss child support
Even if the state inactivates its file, it's always subject to being reopened if the mother can be located. If you are motivated to find her and try to collect her child support arrearage, you could hire a search firm or use an on-line service to try and get current information. If you are able to find her and she's working, you'll have a source of recovery.
