Legal Question in Family Law in Louisiana

You only get child support back to the date you formally requested in court. You cannot wait 14 years and then decide you are owed 14 years back child support. If you never requested child support through the courts before today, child support will begin on the day you request it.

Child support will be based on the non-domiciliary parent's projected income (what the courts think he should be earning) when setting child support. Income from an inheritance may be counted depending on what it is.
