I have received no correspondence and do not recall the initial lawsuit notification. Is the statue of limitations up? I saw that NY went from 6 years to 3 years. What are my options?
answered on Apr 15, 2024

Yes. The cockamamie federal laws regarding child support were taken to the maximum in New York with a 21-year age out, and the burden of proof of the adult child's emancipation is on the non-custodial father. Voting carelessly carries enormous ramifications.
