In early 2012 I decided that the father of my son needed to help provide for our child and went after him for a support order. In June of 2012 I found that he'd be paying $200 a month, I asked the Oklahoma Child Support Agency if he'd be paying retroactive child support and they told me that they would not handle that for me. In July of 2012 I received my first child support payment and ended up moving to Texas. The OK Child Support Agency told me in order to transfer the case I would need to hire a lawyer and get the father to agree. A few weeks ago I received a letter from them stating that I had 45 days to transfer the case or have it terminated. I've started that process. I want to state of Texas to go after the father for retroactive support because he KNEW of his child and did nothing until I took him to court over it and even then denied our child until a paternity test was forced upon him. I want to know what my legal rights are when it comes to retroactive support? Can the state of Texas go after him for retroactive support? Can I go after him for retroactive support? How do I go about it?
