SB 483

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.
