Legal Question in Family Law in Missouri

I cannot respond to any of the areas of Florida law. But, i can give you some information relative to yrou concern about the ten year statute of limitiations in Missouri. The statute runs if nto tolled (suspnded or sometimes referred to a "frozen") If a potential defendant (you) are out of the state (MO) then the statutory period is tolled. For example, if you the order was issued in 2001, and you moved to Florida in 2004, only three of the ten years have run. If you move back to Missouri, the plainitff woudl only have seven years from then to take you to court.

Now as to the issue of whether the statute applies to your situation. The 2001 Order can be renewed or revivied, so that it itself does nto expire. It remains active for ten years since the last garnishment or attempt to collect through the court. Several states are in auniform compact to colelct child support orders issued by each other. It may be that the Missouri Order is still collectable in Florida and may be for some time to come. You will have to consult with a Flroida attorney to see how Flroida's specific laws affect yrou situation.

Good luck
