The bio does not owe any future child support but she/he is still responsible for back child support. Also don't get confused here- the money goes to the Custodial Parent -myself. Not to my wife - adoptive parent.
I agree with OAG's policy - OAG will still collect the back child support with interests added every year until the bio pays every penny off.
We, Custodial Parents, did everything for kids without bio's help. What if they could write off their balances just because kids got adopted? What is the point of having OAG if they don't have to pay a penny after all? They could just run and hide until the kid gets adopted-until the balance is written off. I find it encouraging that the system is in place so that the bio like my ex STILL is responsible for whatever she owes - she had every chance to modify the amount but never did. Why? Because she's the type of person who can leave a child behind and move on.
My wife and I have raised my child for last 6 years while the bio was running around partying, never visited the child, and ignored the court ordered child support for the while time. What is the justice here?
I can tell you that we're so glad that we finished the process of adoption. And we're very proud of ourselves for gathering info and studied the court system. Let's not forget that it was not free- yes, adoption is expensive - as well as raising a child. So why let the bio go free? That's what I want to ask.
