Many times as a Rochester Family Law Attorney, I will have parents come to me and ask how they can collect back child support, prior to filings. Child support is only effective the date that you file a petition and you ask for it or the date that you start a divorce. You can’t go back years and years before you filed your petition and ask that you get child support going backwards. The court is typically only going to go back to the date of the filing of the petition.
