There is no statute of limitations on collecting child support arrears in Florida. If you are owed child support, you are entitled to receive it even after your child turns 18. This does not mean you should wait to begin fighting for the child support you are owed. You have options, and a qualified family law attorney can help you.
What are child support arrears?
Child support arrears is just the legal term used to describe unpaid child support.
How can I collect unpaid child support from my ex?
Even though there is no statute of limitations on collecting unpaid child support, you should still speak with an experienced attorney to help you. If your ex allowed the amount of child support they owe you to accumulate, getting them to pay you the full sum owed may be difficult.
