Legal Question in Family Law in Mississippi

Back Child Support

I'm the daughter of a Man,that never paid any child support at all. My mother and father were never married.

I am now 25,I have given my father numerous of chances,to keep this siuation out of court. But he hasn't made any attempt to pay. My question is: Would I have any chance of receving all the back pay that my father never paid. Never paid for medical bills,school,food,clothes,nothing. Even though him and my mother wasn't married. Even though I''m now 25 years old. Have I waited to late to do anything? Please email me the best advice.

Thank you-)

Re: Back Child Support

More than likely a paternity test would have to be done to prove he is the father. First I would call the MS Dept. of Human Services Child support enforcement division at 1-800-948-4010 or 359-4861. They will be able to answer you questions and give you guidance.

Let me know if I may be of more assistance.
