Child support represents a fundamental obligation for the non-custodial parent. However, it is important to understand how the prescription of this obligation works and what to do to interrupt it.
Prescription is a legal institution that determines the extinction of a right due to the failure to exercise it within a specific period of time. In the case of child support, it applies to the amounts not paid by the obligated parent.
According to current regulations, the prescription for child support is five years. This period starts from the moment the support becomes due, that is, from the date the payment should have been made.
The prescription begins to run the day after the date on which the support should have been paid. It is therefore essential to keep track of deadlines to avoid losing the right to claim the amounts owed.
To interrupt the prescription, it is necessary to take legal or extrajudicial actions, such as:
Any action taken will restart the prescription period from the beginning.
