Question

Is there a statute of limitations on child abuse and molestation?

Answer

Yes, and how it is calculated and applied can be rather complex. You would need to talk to an attorney in person to get an estimate of when it would run out in any particular case.

Answer

The two civil statutes that set up the statute of limitations are Code of Civil Procedure sections 340.1 and 340.35.
