Re: child support
Wow! You definately need to talk to your attorney.
If a person dies that owes child support, then the estate now has the burden of paying the child support.
The TX Legislature just enacted some new provisions regarding child support when the parent owing $$ dies.
You need to read the divorce decree to see what your father was ordered to do.
I wish you the best during this difficult grieving process.
Re: child support
If the youngest child is older than 28, the statute of limitations has expired. Good Luck.
