Can you give an example of when retroactive child support was granted
Case Rating: *
In California, a court may grant retroactive child support if it's proven that the child lived with the custodial parent during the period in question. Here's an example:
- Example: A mother had custody of her child for five years without receiving child support. After filing a request and providing evidence (e.g., school records, medical records), the court ordered the father to pay retroactive child support for those five years.

can I sue him in small claims for abuse and the damage he has done

For issues related to abuse and damages, small claims court may not be the best venue, especially for more severe allegations like abuse, which could require a higher court. For damages, you can consider small claims if the amount is within the limit. Would you like to be connected to local lawyers who can better assist you with your case?
