SC Mother Served with Summons for 12 Years Past Due Child Support - 63 Cents - Or Else

By Janet Langjahr

South Carolina Mother served with summons for child support. Past due child support.

Twelve years, to be precise. Children are long since grown.

But that doesn’t void the legal duty to pay.

The entire arrearage.

All 63 cents of it.

Or else.

According to a new computer system utilized by the South Carolina courts.

But the Mother says she discharged her entire obligation twelve years ago, and received a notification to prove it.

Hope she saved it. It can be difficult to prove to those computers that they’re wrong.
