252.15 RECOVERY BY RELATIVE.
A more distant relation, who may have been compelled to aid a poor
person, may recover from any one or more of the nearer relatives, and
one so compelled to aid may recover contribution from others in the
same degree, and a recovery may be had against the poor person or the
person's estate, if, after such aid or support has been given, the
person aided or supported becomes able to repay the same; but
proceedings to recover therefor must be brought within two years from
the time a cause of action accrues. Section History: Early Form
