Child Support FAQ: I'm often asked if a parent can be sued for back child support even after the child has left the home. A typical question goes like this...

"I'm 25 years old and my father owes my mother over $25,000 in back child support. Can I or my mother still collect on this money even though I no longer live at home?"

The answer depends on your State's law and its Statutes of Limitation for collecting child support. Many states consider a child support order the same as a judgment thus back support can be collected until the Statute of Limitations on a judgment expires. In a few states, the statute of limitations expires when the child reaches the "age of majority" typically 18 (19 if still in high school or 23 if in college).

I'm also asked if it's possible to collect child support from someone who has moved (fled) to another country. It depends on whether or not the United States and your State have an agreement with the country in question.
