A: Call a lawyer and bond company for assistance. He still has a child support obligation for the child regardless if the mother of the child is deceased. Good luck.

A: I would like to know where the child was during that year in order to give a more specific answer. But, if he did not get a court order to terminate his child support obligation then the child support was still owed.

The court will appoint him a lawyer if he can't afford one. But, he needs to either hire a lawyer or use the appointed lawyer to negotiate something on his behalf or set a hearing.
