I’m working on a soon to be filed Chapter 7 bankruptcy. My Dallas client, single, had a consensual relationship from which a son was born. He is 10 yrs. old. They terminated the relation in a friendly manner and agreed verbally to his support, my client is a banker and at that time very well paid. So the deal was and he is still paying as agreed. Besides that, he pays for all his own. It is a criminal offense not to support minor children in most states, court order or no court order, and there is a common law doctrine of necessities that applies to spouses also. If the trustee wants to argue that your client should commit a felony so eCast can make a profit on the debt it just bought, then the trustee should appear as a witness in the criminal trial that the non-support was court-ordered by the trustee.
