I am confused by your question so I will answer in 2 ways.
If you were married to the children's father until after the child turned 18 then you would not be entitled to any support since he was there to offer support until the child came of age.
If you were divorced or separated, and there was a court order saying he had to pay XXX amount per month, and it was not paid, you will be entitled to that money until the day your ex dies! It doesn't matter how old the child/adult is, if the money was ordered and never paid, then it is still owed. But, you must maintain a claim at least every 24 months.
