At my custody trial in which I won custody, there was not enough time to hear the child support case, so our trial date for that is in March 2007.
1. Will the judge order BM to pay CS from the date I was awarded custody (October 2006), or from March 2007?

Court can go back as far as the filing date of the first pleading in which CS was requested by either party. Or, court can not order any retroactive support. However, the former result is the overwhelmingly likely outcome, except where a party has willfully frustrated the resolution of the case.
