The old statute of limitations on unpaid Michigan child support still applies to child support ordered prior to January 1, 1997.  Unlike the current Statute of limitations (10 years from the last payment is due), the old Statute of limitations was 10 years after each support payment became due.  So, if a payment was more than 10 years old, the Statue of limitations applied.  

In some circumstance the Statue of limitations can be tolled or extended.  For example, partial payment on a debt may restart the running of the Statute of limitations, in some circumstances, even after the Statute of limitations has already ran.

One thought on “Michigan Child Support Statute of Limitations”

  • to enter the SEV. SEV is not selling cost, SEV is amiroxppately 1/2 of true market value. Hence the discrepancy, you are entering $200,000 for SEV which equates to $400,000 market value = $8,000 in taxes. Just like I said; you need market value of $400,000 to have property taxes of $8,000 per year. The State and listing info. are correct as you said, it is the 3rd variable (you) that screwed it up. Speculation ceased.One other thing, misstating the square footage by over 500 (20%) is not excusable just because the realtor has attempted “good faith”. A good faith attempt would involve the realtor getting a calculator & tape measure and getting off his hindquarters to measure the house. If he is too lazy to do that, at least be conservative and state the square footage as listed on COF website. If the square footage is indeed 2500, a smart buyer would be in court getting a court order for a 500 square foot addition.
