This fully depends on the state. In most states, the mother has until the child turns age of majority for that state (18-21) to file for retroactive child support of up to 18 years worth (average is 5 years), and the child can file for one year after they reach the age of majority. However, in Ohio and Michigan, the mother has until the child turns age 23 to file for 18 years of retroactive child support. The child can file after age 18 and the 23rd birthday. In all states, the father knowing he had a child is not a required consideration, however judges are raising this issue before approving an order, provided the mother was not on Welfare. If the mother was on Welfare, than it has to be repaid.

Can a fifty year old woman take her father to court for back child support?
If the child support wasn't paid back then, it is time for her to let it go. The agreement was between her parents. Still, a lawyer might accept the case, but you cannot get blood from a turnip.AnswerNo. Generally, child support is owed to the custodial parent and it must be initiated by a court order. Every jurisdiction has a statute of limitations for requesting child support, when the child has reached eighteen years, and for establishing arrears. For a child at at fifty years of age, any statute of limitations would have tolled. A fifty year old would not have any legal standing to sue a parent for child support.
Can a 49-year-old adult child sue their biological parent for child support arrearages?
It's not impossible but it is highly unlikely that the court would address such an issue. The premise being that the adult child waited far too long to pursue litigation. The majority of US states do have statute of limitations pertaining to the recovery of child support arreages. For states that do not have an SOL, arrearage recovery is usually only applicable when money is owed to the state due to the child/children having received public assistance.
Can a 19 year old boy have back child support canceled in Texas?
He is not a boy, he is a man. He fathered a child; it is his responsibility. The sooner he picks up and gets things caught up, the better. It is tough but he can do it.Another PerspectiveIf the nineteen year old boy was the child for whom child support was paid, he cannot cancel any arrears owed to his mother. Many parents who owe arrears have been thinking (magically) that the child can be influenced to cancel the debt once they reach adulthood. Child support arrears do not go away and since they are owed to the child's parent, the child cannot cancel the debt once they reach the age of majority.
If your ex is behind on child support how does that effect their income tax refund or tax rebate?
Well, the only child support I ever receive is when my ex files his income taxes once a year. The government takes it and send the courts what is owed to me, and the court sends the amount to me.
Can any owed child support be taken out of year end taxes for a non biological child in Washington state?
Taxes, no; tax refunds due the obligor, yes. Not sure what is meant by "non biological child" - paternity must be established before any support is ordered. I have gone to Washingtonlawhelp.org. Past due child support can be taken out of Tax refunds for a non-biological child. (from a spouse of the non-custodial parent)
Why would you have to pay child support for an 18 year old in Indiana?
If a judge said so you have to. Often child support is required for additional years if the child is attending formal education toward a certification or degree.
