What is the name of your state?nebraska is state where cso is. mother lives in iowa. in 1976 mother got devorced after a year of abuse, she was 17? at the time. decided to give children up for adoption (2 boys) but family stepped in and said no way and her parents took custady of children, mother signing over the kids just like an adoption. mother had job not paying much at all. after all these years child support is saying she owes 15,000 in arears. grandmother(her mom) always stated she didn't want money from her, so she did odd jobs for parents to make up for the cash she didn't have and grandparents didn't want, even was a caretaker for both parents later in years, quiting her job to do so. now nebraska pulled her drivers license, not getting one in iowa yet after only moving here recently. both grandparents are dead now, she is grandmother now, and is now a caretaker for her husband who is bedridden. does she owe the state 15,000, back in the 70's cs wasn't enforced as it is now and nothing really has been said up till this point about it to her, ex husband killed himself so he don't pay anything. any and all help is needed on this
 


answer is no,she cannot be made to pay any child support that was not previousely established under an order of a court.
It appears she signend her parental rights over to another party.
If an adoption process took place legally through the court,then parental obligation became mute.
She therefor cannot be made to pay something in which failed to provide due process for her.

Read the post again, and this time with your eyes open.
 
The above poster was the one whom appears to have misread the inquiry.
The person asking the question on behalf of the party stated she became pregnant at age 17,and made the choice to give the child up for adoption,her parents said no way and proceeded to adopt their grandchild.
The daughter of the adopted child provided care for her parents later on.
It is clear that when an adoption takes place and adjudged by the court then parental obligations seize.
The courts have also declared that contumacy leads to the loss of parental rights.
Once those rights are severed the court does not have to afford a natural parent their superior rights as a parent.
And likewise the CSE agency may attempt to use a non applicable inferrance of establishing a financial support based upon biology.
But it is inconsistant to law,in affording the child a stable and healthy environment.
Obviousely at the time the mother of the child had some issues mentally,and financial that made it impractical to have ever set an award for child support.
There are specific laws both on the Federal,and State levels,that address such an occurrence.

Wow! :eek:

After two years, you come back with that???

We have no real way of knowing whether or not the adoption actually took place. She could have just signed guardianship over to her parents. In that case, if her parents were on state aid, she could still owe the money.

After two years though, I don't think the OP is coming back>
