Retroactive

Applies to events that already happened before the law, rule, or order was in effect. Most commonly in family law, this applies to a child support amount. Even though a trial on child support may not be held for a few months, the new child support amount will be applied retroactively, i.e., the new amount will go into effect the month following when the petition was served.
