What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, an action to enforce a court judgment or decree is generally barred unless it is commenced within 20 years after the judgment or decree was entered. However, under current law, an action to collect child or family support owed under a judgment or order is barred unless it is commenced within 20 years after the youngest child under the order reaches the age of 18 or, if he or she is enrolled full-time in high school or its equivalent, reaches the age of 19.
This bill eliminates the statute of limitations on an action to collect child or family support and allows a person to bring an action to collect the amounts owed at any time.
