California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Amie v. Superior Court, 160 Cal.Rptr. 271, 99 Cal.App.3d 421 (Cal. App. 1979):
The county has argued that its right of action is derived, by way of assignment or subrogation, from the child's right of action against her parent for support. (See In re Marriage of Shore (1977) 71 Cal.App.3d 290, 297, 139 Cal.Rptr. 349.) As the child's minority would toll the statute of limitations in an action commenced by her (Code Civ.Proc., 352, subd. (a)(1); Van Buskirk v. Todd (1969) 269 Cal.App.2d 680, 689, 75 Cal.Rptr. 280), the county maintains that the statute likewise is tolled as to its action.
