Q: If my rights to my child was termanated by court do i have to pay child support if not how do i take care of it
I was living on the streets never even knew they took my rights and never even knew i had child support until i filedfor taxes and they took my return if my rights were taken then i dont think i have to pay but while i was in prison and the last year i been out the payments have been pileing up how do i get my payments stoped and maybe my money returned from them takeing my taxes
A: If your rights were terminated child support only stops if the child is adopted. Any past due support would still be owed. You should contact an attorney to help you get to the bottom of this so you know where you stand. I wish you the best of luck with this matter.
