Can I still collect it? Yes! If uncollected, and the order mandating it hasn't been modified, the law protects you, even after all these years. There are some defenses to paying the spousal support, but not the child support, and we're filing a case on this issue. For various (and good) reasons, they had not tried formally collecting until now, shortly after the man's death.
His death means the claim needs to be acted upon within a year, but the law does have several protections and priorities for child and spousal support claims, so don't give up!
The interest accrues from the date of the order, so that helps too, especially if it's from 1960.
