My questions is If your children are of legal age and are adults do you still have to pay back child support for those adult children? Is there a statue of limitations in Louisiana?

Go here: http://ocse3.acf.dhhs.gov/ext/irg/sps/selectastate.cfm

Click on Louisiana. Apparently Louisiana has a 10 year statute of limitations, but my guess is that it is after the last payment is due. So if your last payment for the youngest child was due 10 years ago, the limit is up.

Also, on that website there's information regarding a lien placed on property.

If your youngest child was emancipated more then 10 years ago, it appears they cannot collect, but if the youngest became of age this year, back support can be collected for the next 10 years.
