should be a distinction between the ongoing obligation to provide support and
past due support. I gather from your facts that child support is not an ongoing
obligation, but rather there is an arrearage. If so, then the administrator
should file in Superior court a Motion to convert the previous unpaid support to
a judgment and then garnish or collect in the best way possible. The past due
obligation did not die with the obligee, and often in orders of child support
the can agree the obligation will survive the death of the <B>obligor,</B> and
to the extent not paid can be a claim against the deceased obligor’s estate.

<P class=MsoNormal>Hi Listserv,<o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal>We are administering an estate in Washington with relatively
modest assets. The Decedent left two adult sons as heirs. No estate planning was
done at the time of her passing. Decedent was owed Child Support well over
$100,000 by her former spouse. A call into DCS with the assigned agent suggested
that the debt "dies" with the person who requested the child support. Is this
correct? And if not what remedies can the estate take to collect on these owed
claims, if any?<o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
