Re: Child support

In British columbia, the order for retroactive child support can be back to the date child support was first requested, normally by giving you notice in a Writ of Summons and/or a Notice of Motion requesting child support, but there are exceptions, which are dependant on the particular circumstances of each case. You should consult a B.C. lawyer experienced in family law.
