Q: If I am the noncustodial parent and cs had never been enforced would I be held liable for rearages if cps got involved?
We have always been on mutual terms and I have paid my share of health and wellness and provided necessities for the child.
A: You could be liable if CPS gets involved although you are still liable for any pay order whether they get involved or whether it has been enforced in the past.
A: If you have been paying child support to the other parent, ensure you have statements of proof (bank statements, money transfer app statements, etc). A parent is finically responsible for their child. CPS involvement does not change that.
