In South Carolina, child support debts are typically handled by the Department of Social Services.
I lost custody of my kids 10 years ago and my mother became legal guardian. I was supposed to pay child support till I got custody back. Then I got custody back 6 years ago and my mother passed away 3 years ago. I was under the impression that my child support debt has been cleared since my mother and myself filled a form to wipe the debt and that was 5 years ago. I got a letter a few weeks ago saying I needed to be present in court for a hearing about the $*,* in child support that I owe. The other letter was sent to my mother whom is deceased.
Do you have a copy of the "forgive" form you and your mother submitted to clear the child support debt?
