Nunc Pro Tunc Order

An order in which the Court corrects an earlier order retroactively. For example, a Court may write down the wrong child support amount, e.g., ordering $500 when it meant to order $250, but the mistake is not discovered for a few months. The Court can issue a nunc pro tunc making the correction retroactive to the date child support was to go in effect. The term nunc pro tunc is Latin for “now for then.”
