Can I get child support for the first time before the child support order?

If you don't get public assistance, you may get child support from the day that you filed your case asking for child support. To get support from this date, you must serve the other parent within 3 months after you file your case.

The judge may also award child support starting from the date of the hearing, the date the other parent was served, or another date depending on the facts in the case.

Child support cases can be emotionally difficult, and legally complex. An experienced child support attorney can walk you through the proceedings and create a case plan that is tailored to your needs. Give our law offices a call (toll free) to discuss your case... free.
