There is, but it varies depending on your arrearage. Failure to support is what is called a continuing condition. In other words, every month you fail to pay, the charge remains. Therefore, the statute of limitations does not even START until your youngest child is 18. Then, the clock starts ticking on the statute of limitations. If, at that time, you owe less than $25,000, the statute of limitations is three years. If you owe more than $25,000, the SoL is five years.

Failure to support is a Class B felony and can rack up some serious jail time and hefty fine on top of child support payments. Arkansas is one of the states known to seriously go after "deadbeat" parents, both moms and dads.

Yes it depends on each sitituation. My husband was only charged for two years prior to the mother askign for assistantce. Even though the child is four, he only pays two years worth of back pay. Back pay can be dropped if the party that receives the money tells a judge they want it cleared.

The above is true for retroactive support (support due for a period prior to the entry of the first order). For arrearages (unpaid support that accrued as the result of an order), there is no statute of limitations.
