All parties involved in this question reside in Indiana.

Back in college, I had a one-night-stand with a gal. About two months later, I got a call from her saying that she was pregnant. I saw her once afterward, when she would have been about three months along. I never saw nor heard from her again. There was never any discussion of obligation -- legal or otherwise. Obviously, we were never married, never lived together nor did we ever have a "relationship" of any kind.

It's now 14 years later.

She had the baby, but [as far as I know] I am not listed on the birth certificate. I have had absolutely no contact with this woman or her child. She has never made any attempt to contact me or pursue me legally, and it's not as though I am hiding. I am easily accessible in my hometown and my parents still have the same address and phone number as when I lived there all those years ago.

After all this time, what if she suddenly comes after me?

What, if any, are my legal obligations?

To pay for the child support,

You knew she was pregnant, and should have known your legal and moral obigation as a father.

Not sure how for back she can go, that is state law but she can file for child suport and get it based on your income.

So get the check book out

Yes. You are the blood father of the child, and if she would "go after" you, she would have every right to do so.

You sound more concerned about your financial status than the whereabouts of your child?
I was expecting you to maybe want to find your kid...

The moral and ethical questions involved are altogether different.

My omission of that aspect was not a reflection of my callousness, merely an effort to keep it to the facts.

The legal questions have definitive asnwers; that's all I meant to get at with my question.
