I filed a restraining order against my husband in July of 2001. The restraining order was for 5 years altogether. I recently went to court as the ex has not paid child support as ordered and was being charged with contempt by the prosecuter. The support order listed 2004 as the first year he was ordered to pay at all. My lawyer made several unsuccessful attempts to serve the divorce papers, in fact, the ex was "found" in jail when he was arrested for a drug charge later.
We'd been apart since 2001 though, so I want to know if I am entitled to child support for 2001 to 2004 and how I can go about getting it added to the arrearage. Thank you for any advice you can offer. I still have a copy of the restraining order, and child support was not directly addressed in it, but custody was given to me. Thanks again.
