• Can an mother and kids receive back pay from child suppot from farther after he sued big company,and recieveing SSI.Childrens now 28 and 14. Please help

Was there a child support order already? If not then you might be able to collect for the 14 year old but it is past time to collect for the 28 year old.

When he does collect the settlement from the lawsuit it is possible to collect back support from that (provided there was a support order in place). As far as the SSI, that is not able to be garnished. If there is a current order for the 14 year old he will continue to owe but because he is not working he can have it modified. SSI does not count as income in trying to calculate support. So, if he goes back to court to have the order modified it is possible that the future amounts due will be less depending on what type of settlement he got.

He said they drop his case do of his injured leg,and not able work and pay,so he said he don't own no back pay from the time the four kids was born,As of now one is now 28,24,19,and 14,all his kids. The settlement is a very very large amount.

Was there a child support order in place ?

If you want our help you need to answer our questions. Was there a child support award in place.

If he claims they dropped the case, then you should have been informed and there should be a court record of it.

Bottom line, is they may have reduced the amount of support to zero because of his income, but it is likely he still owes back support if there was a court order. You need to talk to support collection agency in your area about grabbing part of the settlement.
