How can you be found in arears on child support if you were NEVER ordered to pay child support, and there is NO court order for child support?

The custodial parent recieved everything she wanted in the hearing, EXCEPT child support. Child support WAS denied. Now 9 years later she wants is taking us back into court for arears of 9 years child support? Is this even legal? And yes, we have the court paper's denying her child support. And what can we do about it? We live a different state, we have to take off work and drive to Kentucky to see to this. Can we file charges against her or something?

The only thing I can think of is that the parent in arrears was out of contact with the custodial parent, or the one receiving the notice was recently declared the parent, and the judge ordered a retroactive amount against that person. Or possibly there was an agreed amount outside of the courts (a personal arrangement) which the person failed to uphold.

Arrerage by definition indicated an amount ordered but not paid. YOu may OWE it; but without an order, there can't be an arrerage.
She can always sue; it's America. Have a local relative hire an atty to represent you and be done with it; cheaper than commuting and this should be a slam dunk.

The court can order retroactive childsupport, and if they do then you would be arrears.
