VerifiedHello! My name is Debra (formerly known as Legal Ease). Thank you for your question. I'm reviewing it now, and will post back again shortly.
I'm sorry to hear that you are in a difficult situation.
Is this about spousal support or child support?
I understand.
No, you should not be gathering receipts going back to 2014 at this point in time.
At the very most the court will go back three years and even then you are going to have to show the court good reason why you didn't try to get child support before or they may not even agree to go back at all.
Does that clarify the law and answer the specific question?
Please feel free to post back with any follow-up questions you may have. If you don't have any then I hope I have earned a 5 star rating but if you don't feel that I have please don't hesitate to reply back and let me know what more I can do to assist you. Finally, please know that even after you rate me I will be here for you and you can ask follow-up questions if you think of them later on at no further charge of course.
