I believe only the mother named in the court papers can sue. The agreement was made between the father and the mother, not the father and child. And even then, it might have to be the court that goes after the father, not the individual. Contact your local courthouse and ask to speak to the clerk of the court and they can provide you with all the information you need.
No, by the age of 22 you are an adult and no need for child support. This was supposed to be done by your mother when you were still a minor.
Another opinion...You're asking a surprisingly complex question that's going to be tough to answer without a lot more information. Lacking that, I'll mention a few things that might apply:
Courts award child support based on what's believed by the court is required to support the child in question in the life they're already part of. This would typically include sustenance, appropriate schooling, medical and insurance, etc. Often, it's based on the financial state of the previously married couple, but moreso upon the child's needs. Note -- "needs".
The assumption is that child support addresses needs. This implies that the failure to provide child support awarded by the court causes either the needs of the child to be fulfilled by another source (thus potentially incurring debt -- maybe to you, maybe to someone else, &c.), or no fulfillment at all (thus potentially incurring damages). How much, if at all, either of these applies, depends on the situation.
In addition to not paying court ordered child support being handled in civil court, the DA may interpret this as a criminal act. And in this case, the criminal statute of limitations is -- once more -- complex.
If the amount of money or damage is significant, and the amount of money the defendant may be able to yield in damages is sufficient, this may be something you wish to take up with an attorney.
Until/unless you are determined to be the child's father, no.
A husband only pays child support if he does not have custody of the child. If he is paying spousal support, it is only supposed to be temporary until the wife can become financially stable.
yes - If someone asks for the support and he is the father.
Only if the child has a severe disability.
No, child support does not start until the child is born. Once the child is born the mother can seek child support and it can be deducted from the father's pay.
Although a father has a moral obligation to support his child he is not legally responsible for payment until there has been a support order issued by the court.
My answer to that would be 'No'. The father is responsible for providing child-support regardless of who has custody of the child; at least until the age of 18.
Yes. If paternity has been established the father will be required to pay child support until the child is at least eighteen.
The answer is simple. The father must pay child support to reimburse the social agency that is supporting his child. It is not the responsibility of tax payer supported agencies to support the children of irresponsible parents. If you bring a child into the world you must support that child until adulthood.The answer is simple. The father must pay child support to reimburse the social agency that is supporting his child.

He is obligated to pay support until/unless it is established that he is not the father.
Yes, custodial payments are for the support and care of a child until they are 18.
He will still have to pay support until/unless the child is adopted.
