The minors' recourse for alimony is not subject to the limitation of action, because the legal relationship between parents and children has always existed before they became minors. The right of children to be supported by parents is a continuous right, and the obligation of parents to support minor children is also continuous.
However, when an adult child claims his or her alimony before the age of 18, the limitation of action shall apply. The limitation of action is three years, and the limitation of action shall be calculated from the age of 18.
[Legal basis] According to Article 188 of the Civil Code, the limitation period of action for requesting the people's court to protect civil rights is three years. If the law provides otherwise, such provisions shall prevail.
