This section contains the nature of the case and procedural background.

W gave birth to twin sons in 1982. W never requested child support from H nor did she initiate court action. Fourteen years later, a petition for child support was filed under the UIFSA. W's petition alleged that H was the father and requested a paternity as well as an award for child support. The petition did not specifically request collection of arrearages, but it was later amended to include such sums. When the tests came back positive, H stipulated to paternity and agreed to an ongoing amount of money for child support. The court then determined that H owed $21,346 in past child support. H challenged the past child support award.
