“But after 25 years? Looks like someone would have told him about the death of the child. Suspect the mother did not want to reduce her income and the courts said, “he is out of state” so we will make it as difficult as possible.”
In most cases the child support isn’t going to the mother, but rather to the state because the mother is on welfare/ADC.
The state has no reason to agree to shut off the cash flow when the child is 18, or dead as in this case.
Thanks for the explanation.
