Doe's anyone know the back Child Support Law for the State Of Michigan?

Question

How far can a person go back on child support that was not paid through the court system? Is there a limitation of years? etc? Then are there any Lawyers out there willing to take a case based on percentage and willing to fight one manipulitive, lying son of a -itch?

Answer 1

If you made payments directly to the custodial parent in most cases it could be considered a 'gift'. If you kept receipts of payment (cancelled checks etc) you may be able to prove your case. It depends on the judge. That is why it is best to pay through the state registry! I wish you luck!

Answer 2

There is no limitation while the child is still a minor--he's responsible for all past due amounts. Once the child turns 18, the child has 2 or 3 years, depending on your state, to sue the dad for the back CS. He can get all that is past due---it goes back to the date the Order ordering the CS was filed with the Clerk's Office--unless the decree granting you CS specifies a date that the CS is to begin, then that's the date you use.

If he's really past due by a lot, you should call your office of Child Support Enforcement and they can take him back to court for you--also if the amount is high enough, he can be prosecuted as a dead beat dad. Call your County's prosecutor's office and ask about that.

Answer 3

no limitation of years for most states. but i'll put the links here so you can look it up. just click on your state and find the child support section. one link is for a cs calculator; just click on your state and fill it in. its to get a general idea as to what is paid. it goes by both parents incomes in most states today.

some courts go by when you filed for child support, some look at the 'no support for years' and order it.

every state is different (slightly), so i would contact my local Legal Aid office. they are in every state and most counties. they go on a sliding scale, so its free to most.

go down and file for child support case. this will at least start to get it on the record; all payments. it will be adjusted at some point, provided there is some proof of some sort.
