1. Case: Clark v. Jeter
(US 1988)
a. Held:
•The ct. struck down a Pa.
statute which put a 6-year S of L on child support/paternity
suits brought by illegitimate child.
•Test: (1) The period
for obtaining support must be sufficiently long enough to present
a reasonable opportunity for those with an interest in such to
assert claims on their behalf.
(2) Any time
limitation placed on that opportunity must be
substantially related to the State's interest
in avoiding the litigation of stale or fraudulent
claims.
