Do you owe the $17K for child support?
Are you trying to get the $17K forgiven, as in making the debt disappear?
The $17K you mentioned is part of a divorce decree that you now want amended, right?
If the father ever utilized state or federal benefits for the child (ie... food stamps, health insurance, etc) that is almost impossible, with a few exceptions.
Getting the decree amended isn't that difficult.
But, that won't erase the child support that someone owes.
You might wish to offer a few more details, or not.
I suggest you discuss this with two or three local family law attorneys.
The initial consultation is normally offered at no charge.
Once you've had those discussions, you'll have a better understanding of what can and can't be accomplished.
