Oficialmente se llama "maintenance"... https://www.gov.uk/child-maintenance/overview

No obstante, popularmente se sique llamando "child support" o "support" a secas

Contexto En un contexto general "back support" significa efectivamente "soporte para la espalda" o "respaldo". En un contexto jurídico matrimonialista como el que nos ocupa, es la expresión acuñada para referirse a los retrasos en el pago del "child/spousal support". En este caso, la palabra "back" no es sustantivo ("espalda") sino adjetivo ("anterior/atrasado").

back adj (of the past) anterior adj mf

No cabe abajo Beatriz, "back support" implica LA MISMA información implícita que respaldo. Ni más, ni menos. Ni piden más ni piden menos que la traducción de ese término. Los complementos de todo el contexto ya se dan en lo que va delante y detrás

@Celiacp
"My ex owes 39,000 in back support. He didn't work or file taxes for 8 - 9 yrs but now that my daughter turned 20, he got a job. How can i get the back child support? i have called the county and all they say is, " when you find out where he works, let us know. " Isn't that THEIR job? Thank you."

Beatriz, tu última entrada no hace sino confirmar Lo que comento en mi respuesta:
Support: soporte/apoyo (mientras que "back support": respaldo)
Dar vueltas sobre lo.mismo no aporta más luz

Saludos.

sobre 'support' y 'back support' Support: soporte/apoyo, "Back support": respaldo. No estoy de acuerdo con tu afirmación, Beatriz (no cabe abajo) cuando dices: No es lo mismo "support" (respaldo) que "back support" (respaldo adeudado).

Back spousal support Any spousal support not paid, i.e. back spousal support or arrearage, accrues interest at 10% per year.

Support Enforcement Actions:

Support enforcement actions can be either for back child support or back spousal support. The essential here is having the party who owes the money located within the State of Virginia and that he/she have assets to satisfy the past judgment. All of this can be done provided it is worthwhile to the client and that there is a strong possibility of recovering the monies involved.

Back child support Copio una parte del contenido del enlace que puse en mi respuesta:

"Courts determine child support as part of the divorce proceedings, and they follow state guidelines. This means that the law requires the obligor, the person paying the child support, to make child support payments to the obligee, the person receiving the child support. When the obligor does not make proper payment, he or she is considered to be in arrears. The money is considered a debt, and must be repaid. This is known as paying back child support.
Who Pays Back Child Support?
Anyone who has not made child support payments as ordered must pay back child support. The repayment of this debt might include fees and interest charges, in addition to the back child support. For the most part, states handle back child support, although the federal government can become involved if the obligor is at least two years behind in payments. Parents who owe back child support must pay the debt in full, even if the child is beyond the age of majority."
