retro

[momof1]

simple question:
how far back can one go on retro child support for difference in
income? and what if that person doesnt have the means to pay it
can it be added to the regular monely amount? for repayment

[littleman]

are you registered with FRO???

[momof1]

no I am not , just get cheques for years , never any trouble
just the last couple years this person has made more annually
than he has paid for .
I dont know if it is worth going after , might work out to be
about 2000.00 ??
but someone has told me you can go back as far as 7yrs?
someone else told me 3yrs ?

Case law on the subject is all over the place. Generally retro child support amounts are a given to the date of application.

In other circumstances, everything will swing on the facts of the situation.

lawyer fees

My lawyer fees cost more than I received in retro......something to think about.
You could file with FRO.

If you found out he made less, would you give the $2000 back?

Good question!! How many of us would give back the money?

[momof1]

yes I would , I only think it is fair to do that
they should actually have a law that requires that as well
fair is fair
