I see many answers supporting the fact that back child support is due to the obligee/ custodial parent for their past expenses of raising the child(ren). But what if that parent has died? Not the NC, obligor, paying parent, but the one whom support is owed. What if the County CSEA has been collecting support and doing nothing about it? Shouldn't that money, owed to the parent, belong to the estate/ children (now adult)? I found Texas law that says so, but no other specific finds.:( :confused:

Is it really worth fighting about ? Is that the way the children want their mom to be remembered ? Sometimes being within the law doesn't mean its ethical.
