Best Answer

Most states have statutory provisions for determining how long a court order for child support will remain effective. In some states the statute of limitations is 10 years after the child turns 18. In others the period is only 5 years. Some states have no limitation. The parent who is in contempt of the order can be brought to court at any time during that period. You would need to do a search for your particular state.

In the state of Tennessee, there is no statute of limitations if back child support is owed. The amount will continue to accrue until the child turns age 18.

None. I would suggest paying it because not paying it can become a federal felony.

Before the child turns 18 for the parent to sue, or before the child turns 22, for the child to sue, for support.

There is no statute of limitations for collecting past-due child support.
