If no date specified in order, support due last day of month.

Child support made be ordered retroactive to date of filing action, provided other parent promptly served.

The trial ct. erred in changing sua sponte the date of F's c/s obligation to deprive children of three months of support where there was no evidence that he did not evade service of process.

Support obligations are operative from moment of pronouncement, not date of filing written order.

Date support orders become effective. No proration allowed.
