Child Support Question

Need to check for your state. But the likely answer is yes. Dude in WA you can file for back child support for up to 10 years after the kids 18th birthday. This state has had males that fathered a child from rape (below the age of consent) when they turn 18 pay back child support; that's right the clocked started when they were the minor victim.

Again, don't know your state. Talk to your attorney.

Depends on the state. Most commonly, CS modifications are from the date of the filing. So if she files today, but you don't have a hearing for a year due to whatever reason, the change in CS would be calculated starting from today and you would owe arrears (assuming it's an upward CS award for her). There are some ass-backwards states like Washington with asinine laws for collecting back CS (see other post) that allow a parent to go as far back as 10 years.

How far back to provide tax returns is specific to your state's CS enforcement agency. Look at their website (all 51 jurisdictions + Guam have them) for that info. If you don't have to find it, you contact them about it.

That's not the way custody or CS works, once the order is passed, you have to show new info to challenge it, you cannot demand based on a hunch or just because someone told you your ex was promoted
