We live in Alabama with our two children and his son lives in Texas with his mother. We stayed in contact with them until his son was eight years old. At that time, they moved and we lost touch. His mother never sent us a new address or anything. Last year, my husband found his son on MySpace. He came for a visit and everything went well.
Last night, his mother called and said she is about to sue my husband for 17 years worth of back child support. I think this is ridiculous because she has had our address all of these years and could have contacted us at any time. My question is, can someone be ordered to pay back child support if there has never been an order for child support in the first place. I have no problem with sending him money until he's 18, but to want this huge amount of money now doesn't seem right. Please help. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
