My question involves child support in the State of:Texas
In 2008 I was ordered to pay 4 years retroactive child support after a paternity test showed that I was the father of a 17 year old girl. I was never married to the mother and went separate ways when the child was 2. The child is now 22 and I have 5 more payment to make on the principal owed. The judge who issued the decree said that the order was final and cannot be changed however I have received two different answers from the Texas Attorney Generals office regarding whether the custodial parent can hire a lawyer and attempt to modify the court order and extend payments back to the date of birth of the child...one employee told me they can modify the order while another employee said the the order cannot be changed. So the question is: Can the custodial mother file and modify the 4 year retroactive order and extend payments back to the date of birth of the child who is now 22 years old?
Thanks
