WomensLaw serves and supports all survivors, no matter their sex or gender.
You can ask for back child support for up to three years from the date you applied for child support or the date a written demand was served on the other parent, whichever is earlier.1 For example, if you applied for support on June 1, 2023, you can ask for child support to start anytime after June 1, 2020.
