This is gonna be a little long, sorry.
In 2003 I had a child born in Utah where we both lived at the time, me and the mother was not together at the time of birth, as soon as the child was born the mother dropped by my house with a picture of him and said she will be filing for child support, I said I would like visitation, the mother then opened up a child support case in Utah (I think) but possibly in Washington where she fled.
I received letters in 2004 from Utah saying the case has been closed, I also received letters from Washington saying my case has been closed.
I had no way of contacting the mother to pay, I also contacted Washington DCS and was told nothing was owed and that they could not
give me the mothers information.
16 years went by without locating here, she changed her name a few times and moved to California, I was then contacted by the mother through my wife's facebook message, the message said "I would like to have my Husband adopt the child and would you sign papers, I went a ahead with the adoption not knowing that she could re-open the case, I thought it would be best for everyone since I never met the child and he could have a father, big mistake on my behalf...
Anyways the adoption was complete and a week later the mother re-opened the case in Washington State saying I know owe 20,000.
Can I have this case moved to its original state of Utah if that's where it started?
How can I owe when I was living in the same city the whole time, the mother was moving frequently without letting DCS know?
What can I do?
I only work part time right now and don't plan on going full, can my whole check be taken?
Thanks for any help!
