Mine is kind of the same... If you do not have a court order for child support and years later you get one do they grant you back child support?

Once there is a court order for child support can they collect back child support previous to the order?

Not normally, if they try, it would be listed and ordered by the court in the written court order

Post moved. Please don't piggyback a question on an existing old thread. Thanks.

First nothing is ever automatic in family court,

And no almost never do they award anything before the date the support order was filed. ** filed not ruled on.
