Well lets hope the guy makes it right with his kids...but then it never ceases to amaze me the ol’ x-wives come out of the closet when there’s money to be had...and the sob story with it. In the end we all pay for these peoples mistakes one way or another. Maybe this story will have a better ending then most...and matters will be settled fairly between them. I have many doubts.
If the wife has received any kind of state assistance for these chilren over the years, the state will come after him for the past due child support if there was a court order for it. It doesn’t matter whether the wife wants him prosecuted or not and it doesn’t matter that the kids are now over 18. It’s contempt and he’ll have to pay the determined arrears or be locked up. Even if he stays out of Ohio, they will garnish his wages for it. Happens every day.
