Hi, I have a question. During the first 2 weeks of june (this year), I received a call from a couple of girls who asked some questions of me. The end result being, that I have a daughter living in Kansas. She is 22 years old, married with children. At some point in her life, her mother recieved state assistence. I am in the process of having my name placed on her birth certificate. There is not an issue of support. I never knew of her and there was never a judgement concerning me. However, I know that Kansas uses a statute( k.s.a.39-718b) to collect any state monies expended on the child. It appears that the statute pre-assumes that there was a prior support judgement against the father and that the father was trying to avoid payment. It also, looks like in most cases the child was still a minor when the state pursued the issue. Anyone know if the state would persue reimbursement in this case? Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to avoid any obligation I have. I will put my name on her certificate regardless. I'm grateful that the state saw to it that my daughter was fed and clothed when her mom was having financial difficulty. But, I would like to know what to expect. I have to break the news to my wife that we may have to pay a lot of money.
