I Filed for Child Support Today, but I Wont get a Hearing Date until 3 Months from Now. Do I get Child Support for the Time Im Waiting?
Maybe. The court has the authority in any child support case to order that the child support be paid retroactive to the date that you made the request for child support by filing in court. The retroactive amount of support is called arrearages. Arrearages are added onto the child support award when the case is decided. However, the court can deny you retroactive child support if the court specifically decides that the amount of the retroactive award is unfairly high or would somehow be unfair.
