Is there a statue of limitations in California

[ridgebacklady]

Is there a statue of limitations in California on child support? The court order is over 14 years old and the children are now 27 and 29 yrs old? Can the state collect if the father is on S.S.I. or if he ever owns property?

There is no Statute of Limitations; child support is enforceable until paid in full.

Yes, but just wait for the rest of the story

OP - as the child, the support is not for YOU to collect.

There isn't a SOL on the arrears.

However, SSI (not SSDI) cannot be garnished, so if the father is recieving only SSI and does not own any assets it's doubtful that any monies can be collected by the other parent.
