Legal Question in Family Law in Utah

back child support

While searching for a lawyer, I was told that my husband was not responsible for back child support since he left. It starts when I file. This does not seem fair since I did not know he was not coming back. I have had to borrow money from everyone I know to pay the rent and buy groceries. There has got to be something I can do.

Re: back child support

Your husband can be held liable for marital debts, even after he left the familiy. Child support is technically a liability imposed by the court; but there are other liabilities, including marital debts (money you had to borrow, utilities, rent, debt payments) which he may be held responsible for even after he leaves.
