Isn't there some kind of statute of limitations on child support, for cripes' sake? In the back of my mind, I'm seeing a remake of "A Girl Named Sue", but instead of a saloon in Gatinburg in mid July, it's set in a retirement home in Fort Lauderdale. I have visions of flying tapioca and swinging crutchs and walkers.

"Hi, my name is Sue and you're gonna die!"
"Tell me something I don't know, Sonny!"

"He bit like he had teeth and kicked me with his walker; I tell ya I fought older men, just can't remember when."

LOL - I like your warped sense of humor.

Sort of. If you wait an unreasonably long time to assert a claim you know you have (ie. "sleep on your rights") it can be barred later on if the delay causes prejudice to the other party. It is known as the legal doctrine of latches.
