Although I feel fathers should, in most cases, be part of their children's lives and certainly take responsibility for paying child support, it's dishonest to collect child support for two children when you only had one at home. If this was the agreement with the court, then yes, your ex can make you pay back some of that money. Let's hope he has a big heart! Marcy
It is fraud to collect child support for (2) children if a person only has (1) child. The person should absolutely return the money, it is not her's to keep.

∙ 13y agoIf an unpaid order is in place, yes as there is no statute of limitations. If no order exist, depending on the state, the mother has up to 23 years to establish paternity and file for up to 18 years in retroactive child support. Most states it is 18 years, however in Ohio it is 23 years. The average limit is five years retroactive, however some states allow 18 years. A couple do not allow any. see links below

∙ 11y agoAbsolutely. If they did not it would be common for noncustodial parents to slack off and not pay at all. It is not fair to the child.

What is the law in Texas about paying child support when entering a new marriage?
Nothing changes regarding child support orders whether it is the mother or the father who is remarrying. The child/children are the responsibility of the biological parents not a new spouse. For example if the mother marries someone of substantial means it would not affect the child support amount that was ordered to be paid by the biological father, as the mother's new spouse has no legal obligation to support the child/children.
