    Did you mom file for support? If a court order exists for support then your father owes it to your mother's estate. The estate can file a claim for the support if it hasn't been closed.

    If there ewas no support order, then no.

    If ther ewas no support order, then no.

    I "assumed" that after 14 years it was moot - but, yes, you're right.

    Interestingly I read that the Statute of Limitations applies - now I am curious and wonder if there is a time frame within which a claim for child support must be filed.

    I am going to check this aspect out. I'll be back.
