Legal Question in Family Law in California

Re: Back child support

This is only a washington question if you domesticated the order of child support here and were enforcing it through this state.

Otherwise, it is a CA question and CA law controls.

You say "she is an adult now" but you don't say how old she is. In WA, you can move to collect on back support for ten years after the child turns 18, and any judgment is extendable after that.

You will have to check with a CA atty to learn what the statute of limitations is there.

Also, you didn't move to amend the order of child support when you learned of n.c.p.'s change of circumstances, and it may well be too late.

Hope this helps - Powell

Re: Back child support

In California child support is due until paid. There is not statute of limitations on the judgment. The unpaid support is subject to 10% interest from the date it is due until it is paid.
