STATE OF MICH. v. PRUITT

No. 8827DC1081.

380 S.E.2d 809 (1989)

STATE OF MICHIGAN, COUNTY OF SHIAWASSEE, on Behalf of Janice PRUITT v. Harold PRUITT.

Court of Appeals of North Carolina.

July 18, 1989.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Lackey & Lackey by N. Dixon Lackey, Jr., Shelby, for defendant-appellant.

Charles D. Randall, Asst. Dist. Atty., Shelby, for appellee.


BECTON, Judge.

The question presented by this appeal is whether an action against a father for past due child support, brought eight years after the children were adopted by the mother's new husband, was barred by the statute of limitations. We hold that the applicable statute of limitations was ten years, and, accordingly, we affirm the order of the trial court commanding the father to pay past due child support for the period from June 1978 to February 1980.
