Can my x wife get back pay of child support if I have made all payments and now she wants a modification?

  • By: David Bliven

Q. I have been paying child support on time and the amount agreed for a number of years. My ex wife now wants a modification and money retroactive to when I a substantial increase in salary. Can she get back pay for child support?

A. By statute (unless agreed upon otherwise), she can only get child support retroactive to the date she filed for modification. You’re best advised to schedule a consult with a Westchester Child Support attorney.
