I have had permanent custody since 2001. The court never set child support and the ex never paid anything.  Could I ask for back child support till then. I do live in a different state than where the decree was made.

From what I have heard other SMs say regarding their husband's modifying child support and whatnot, the judges will only backdate to when the modification was originally filed for. If you wait to file for child support, the judges usually say tough, you snooze, you lose.
