It's quite possible, the time frame depends upon the state SOL pertaining to child support. The custodial parent can file in the state where the order was granted or in the state where the non-custodial parent resides. The petitioner should choose the state with the longest Statute of Limitation's when filing the claim.

If you're asking about retroactive support (support due for a period prior to the entry of the first order), no. If you're asking about past-due support (unpaid support that accrued as the result of an order), yes.

Does the statute of limitations to file child support ever run ou t in Michigan?

While there is no statue of limitation for collecting court ordered unpaid back child support, there is for unordered support...the age of 21 of the dependent child. The child at the age of 18 may sue the noncustodial parent for unpaid support that was not ordered by the courts. This has been done at least twice.
