CS from 30yrs ago

[PJD]

Hey folks, long time viewer first time poster.
If you have been ordered to court by 'FRO', for back C.S from near 30yrs ago how is this order still pending?...can it be beaten at all?
I have a 56yr old family member who seriously, really hasnt had a good life in every sense of the word. Who lost both parents too early, blacklisted by other non-interested relatives and his wife (co-claimant),broke his heart when found cheating on him on returm from work one day and falsely had him charged with assault, hence restraining order also restraining from the 2 children. She remarried within 2yrs and moved out of town.
My cousin, who has never had a drivers licence, in and out of meaningless employment the rest of his life when employed at all from the huge depression he fell under until only recently where at 56 he now has a GREAT job, his very first apartment and believes he will now lose it all.
Can anyone here direct or show me a road to go down to help out with this.
Looking forward to any replies.
Thank You.

Please excuse me if I am wrong in posting this under two different thread topics.
I was hit with this information last night by a an extremely upset cousin/buddy and apparently not much time to find him answers to his dilemma. I realize that contacting a lawyer is usually the first step but I am aware that in some instances lawyers' can become the vilain in some scenarios for both parties.

He needs a lawyer. At this point the argument is that it'd be nothing more than a wealth transfer to the ex wife. (ie. it does the children no good at all, since they (hopefully) are long gone and moved out).
