Barbara is right. You need to file in the county where the child resides (and has resided for at least 6 months). And, you can only collect child support that dates back to the date you originally filed for support.
You can pick up the paperwork at your local Family Court office or you can request assistance from D.S.S. They will help you even if you don't qualify for other services.

IF there has been a child support order all along you are entitled to collect the arrears due to you. A judge can not SET child support retroactively--unless you can prove this man was deliberately evading an order. Go to the child support office and request child support --they will use the date of application as a start time. Please DO NOT contact those child support collection web sites! They will have the child support collected by YOUR CHILD SUPPORT AGENCY redirected to them and they take approx 40% off the top and send you what is left--they do not collect support--they TAKE your support.

I believe you have to file in your own state, Colorado. They can get the ball rolling from there. You can only collect child support from the time it is court-ordered. Try these two websites, they might be able to help you.

these folks helped my sister collect from a deadbeat dad in another state, but she had to give them a small percent of the recovery-still, she said it was worth every penny.

my cousin used these folks to find her ex and collect, very helpful.

Talk to a lawyer. It also going to be up to the judge. You may not get to unless there wa a previous order for him to pay and he never did. He should have been paying from the start but if the mom never took him to court then he may not have to.

i do not understand what state you're in yet, it fairly shouldn't count number. Your ex is assume to list to the place of work that handles his funds the actual shown actuality that he's shifting out of state, agency, new address, etc. after I moved out of state, my funds went from my agency, to the youngster help facilities place of work in my new state, to the CPS place of work in my unique state, and ultimately to the ex. i understand for a shown actuality that no funds were neglected.
