Retroactive Child Support Under Virginia Law This means that even if you and your ex have been separated for a while, the court can only award retroactive child support beginning on the date the action was filed in court.

If either parent files against the other for child support, that filing date is the beginning of court-mandated financial support to keep your children housed, fed, clothed, warm, and cared for.
