Difference between revisions of "Introduction to Child Support"

Child support orders can be made to start at an earlier date than the date when an agreement is reached or a court order is made. These are called retroactive orders. In general, the court will make a retroactive order when there is an obligation to pay child support that was not met, or an obligation to pay a higher amount of support than what was paid, but usually for no more than three years before the date of the application for retroactive child support.
