going after back cs

[AnswerMeNOW]

In Ohio

I do have to say that not in all instances is it true that you can only get CS from the filing date forward.

Stepmom...in Ohio, you can only get CS from the date of the Support Hearing! As I've stated, CSEA in this state does not deal with back child support.

I wish it was that way in this state. My husband and his ex had an agreement that he would help her out, and he did. When we got married, she got mad and wanted back child support. She lied and pretended she'd been paying everything all along (with no help from my husband.) I do admit it was my husband's fault for not keeping good records. At any rate, I was just saying that it's not true everywhere that you can't get back child support.

Ohio does allow for back support dating to time of birth but only in paternity cases. I don't think this qualifies.

Nope smarty, it does not!

Personally, I think there should be a Statute Of Limitations on filing for child support. After all, there are statutes of limitations in place for many other things (accidents, etc). I strongly believe Statues should be in place for instances just like this.

If you sit around and wait, thinking that you're going to strike it rich, that is wrong! 14 years is way too long. 5 years waiting to file should be the limit. But of course, no lawmaker would ever even think of bringing legislation like this to the table. They're too busy doing other stupid stuff.

Listen people, let's put the rumors, the opinion and all of the other crap to rest and try to get to the legal answer which has already been give three times in this thread.

CS is ordered in ALL states from the time of filing, regardless of how long the hearing / trial process takes. If the custodial parent is on state aid of any kind, then yes, the court can take into account the fact that BOTH parents have an obligation to support so the court can order support from the initial date of the custodial parent receiving that aid.

As to the Statute of Limitations question, OHIO has a statute of limitations on Paternity, as do most states. In Onio it is 23 years.

I received back child support and labor and delivery costs from 2 years prior to the filing. I must have a fantastic lawyer I live in Illinois So I guess not ALL states do this

 

[critterperson]

Just to be clear....I only received 1/2 of labor and delivery.....

And since when did Illinois annex Ohio? The point being, your 'experience' has nothing to do with the Original Poster's situation nor does it help.

HOLY CRAP!!? 23 years? What goes does that do (unless it's one of those long-lost parent/child situations and the such).

I still strongly believe there should be a statute of limitations on filing for child support. In this case of the OP, where it's clearly an act of revenge fueled by stupidity, her time should've ran out about a decade ago.

Back Child Support 14 years?

In the state of Tennesse -IF- you have never acknowledge--DID NOT no the CHILD was yours-Never had a DNA test done to SEE IF--YOU are the Father. THEY CAN ONLY GO FROM DATE PATERNITY WAS ESTABLISHED WITH DNA TEST.
WENT WITH MY BROTHER LAST YEAR ON THIS SUBJECT--HE WAS NOT THE FATHER OF 15--9--6 YEAR OLD. TOOK DNA AND WE ASK THAT QUESTION. HOW FAR BACK CAN CHILD SUPPORT GO? JUST TILL ONE OR THE OTHER WAS ESTABLISHED. HOPE THIS HELPS

All I have gained from this post is that Judges just make law as they write their opinion. If I might have once had faith in the system, this post has only proved that my disdain for the "New Family Law" is founded.

I am dumbfounded that the Judges have now found a way to award back child support in cases where there was no court order. And 14 years, are you nuts!!

Are you telling me that for 14 years you sat on your arse and did nothing to locate this childs father. You should be declared an unfit parent and lose custody to Dad. You, with malious and intent, never gave this child the benefit of knowing Dad, paternal grandparents and possible siblings. You denied this child the benefit of Dad's support, both emotional and financial.

Then, one day, because some FLUCKING state clerk tells you to rip this man's world apart by informing him that not only does he have a 14 yr old, he now needs to pay support not only moving forward but for the past 14 years!

YOU NEED TO BE FOUND UNFIT LADY! Next time you just spit out a kid, let daddy know, he does have rights, or at least he did the last time i looked, but hey, the state has continued to suprise me with their interpretation of faily law.

I AGREE i think the father and his family should be made aware of a child that was created so the child has benefits of knowing where they came from
