Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

how far back can they go

We had a signed agreement for SS and CS. 6 months later we went to court because children had moved in with me. Court changed CS order only and set court date. 2 months later 1 child turned 18 and the other moved back to other parent. We decided to drop case but keep new CS the same. Court records just say we dropped case. Now 2 yrs later she is saying I should pay original amount(in signed agreement) and filed with court. How far back will the court go if she never challenged new CS amount 2yrs ago?

Re: how far back can they go

I'm not completely sure I understand the factual situation you've described, but the general rule is that you can go back two years.

But if a court order was in place that should have been changed and never was, you can't go back at all, because the court order was never changed. You can only go forward, not back.
