Hope we see a little more of Nick Brossette this half . <| sep |> I always like to nominate Dragon Riders of Pern when people ask this . It ' s about bioengineered dragons that fight a space based parasite <| sep |> Retroactive child support like that is very rare . Most courts are not going to be too sympathetic to someone who never sought out support despite knowing who the father was deciding to do so now that the child is well into adulthood . If he had been hiding and she had made diligent efforts to locate him then maybe , or if there were some other unique circumstance , but from it sounds like she knew who he was , had the ability to find him , but simply choose not to seek support . If an order had been entered and he didn ' t pay , it would be a different matter , those kinds of debts can live for decades .
