What is the name of your state? CA
I had posted this before. My cousin has opened a case with the D.A. Family Support Division for her 2 year old daughter. What would she file to request back child support. Her ex has contributed nothing, not even a pack of diapers.
In my previous post BelizeBreeze posted a comment (thread - "what can she do") , about what California looks at to determine if back support can be ordered, here is the response to that:
why the parent did not file sooner: The father had beaten her son and after the divorce even before he knew she was pregnant, he harrassed her daily. She was afraid of what he'd do, so she showed good cause and the D.A. family support division did not open a case. She has moved to new count and opened a case, but they can not persue back support on her behalf.
the other parent’s ability to pay: He has a job and is going to pay child support now. He also had no problem asking for the evaluation, which is costing both of them $750 (which she did not have and had to borrow).
any efforts by either parent to deceive the other about the parentage of the child: There is no disput and if he asked for a paternity test it would show he is the father. She has never implied it could be anyone else, even when she was scared and wished she could make him go away.
whether the award would interfere with the support of another child: He has no other children, but he lives with a woman that has 2 children
The daughter is 2 yrs. old. He is on the birth certificate as the father and to date has not questioned paternity. Does she have a chance and if so would retro child support go back to the baby's date of birth? And what would she need to file in order to get this started? And would it be part of the current custody case?
