I have asked this question before about overpayment of child support and whether my husband can be credited for being $4000 overpaid, but I did not ask if there is a statute of limitations..........?

You could always check out the state statutes, where there will be language on it, if it exists.

any expressed intent of the obligor for the application of the
amount that exceeds the court-ordered amount.

Nothing is said about a time limit on requesting the overpayment, right?
