Not necessarily. As a matter of law, child support never goes away and it accrues interest against any unpaid balance at the rate of 10% per annum. But, more interestingly, is if this is a Texas order and what the Texas law states as to interest, etc. Since if CA is simply enforcing a registered foreign order, then the laws of the originating state should apply. You may wish to speak with a Texas family law attorney about Texas law and interest. Good luck!
