What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Illinois but my father is in AZ.
In my mom's divorce decree my dad owes my mom back child-support (enough to buy a new car and help me move on with my life). My dad is currently in a nursing home in AZ and receives a $300 check from social security per month to be spent on his necessities (ie food, clothes, etc.) however from the time I was about 10 until I became an adult (18) he has not paid child support and my mom refuses to get involved.
What can I do if anything to get the back child support money? Is there a statue of limitations as to when it's due? From what I recall at least in Illinois (and I might be wrong) but deadbeat fathers that don't pay go to jail. I am asking if anything can be done and if nothing can be done then that is fine with me.
