Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

old child support due?

I was divorced in 1981. I have two children ages 38 & 37. I did not pay my child support. Their mother was a millionaire and I was broke. Can my ex-wife or the court sitll collect back child support from me?

If you were ordered to pay support and didn't pay it, she can collect against you forever...there's no statute of limitations on child support collections.
