The legal implications of suing a parent’s family for assisting in child support evasion can be complex and murky. Legally, a supportive family member who knowingly aids the evasion of child support may be subject to be sued for conspiracy. This is especially applicable if they assist in concealing assets or providing financial support that prevents the parent from fulfilling their obligations.
For a successful lawsuit, you would need to establish clear evidence that the family member knowingly participated in these actions. Hence, it would be advisable for families to stay informed and avoid any actions that could be construed as encouraging evasion.
Family members who find themselves in a position where they may inadvertently assist an evading parent should consult with legal professionals to understand their responsibilities under the law. Being aware of the implications is essential to ensure that they do not become unwittingly embroiled in legal issues.
