“Her ex, Donald Lenhart ran away to Canada in the early 1970s when Lane (their daughter) was just 3-years of age” said Toni Anderson. The mother worked as an interior designer in Los Angeles all these years meanwhile the father who was pretty much aware of the condition paid no heed to their economic security.

The woman now 73 and although her daughter is all grown up now, she could still use the money. “I am proud that I was able to send Lane to Paris, we travelled but money was a problem and so a portion of my house is rented to ensure the bills are paid on time, I realized last year that there is no upward limit on child support and the money which was just $160 earlier would add up to a good amount and in the court we discovered that the total was now $150000 so now that he is back in the States, it is about time he clear his dues” said the lady.

She hopes that her story helps the other single mothers know and claim their rights. “Just because the child is now settled doesn’t mean their right to seek the overdue child support ceases to exist. As per the US report Five Thirty Eight (2011), a total of $12.1 billion is owed to the custodial single moms who are in the ratio of 9:1 (single dads). I guess the women are afraid” added Anderson.

He is of course a bit panicked and that has been the biggest reason of rejoice for Anderson since he feels that it was his client suffering all these years but now the tables need to turn. Let us just hope that things end smoothly because the woman has already had a tough time all these years.
