If paternity has been established the biological mother or person who has legal custody of the minor child can petition the court for child support from the father. The matter of not signing the birth certificate is irrelevant.

How do i submit a form for back pay child support if im the child but grew up?
Most states do not allow a child to collect back support as an adult. Although the right to child support belongs to the child, support is payable to the custodial parent to assist in the care and upbringing of that child. If the custodial parent did not receive that support, then she (or he) made contributions that should have come from the other parent, and the right to collect the back support belongs to her.

In Tennessee can the father of a child be held responsible for child support in the future if the biological mother will not sign the acknowledgement of paternity form at the present time.?
Yes.The person whom is taking care of the child can sue the other person responsible for the child's birth all the way up to (and in some states) beyond the child's 18th birthday. The fact is that the two people responsible for the child's birth are 50/50 responsible when it comes to finances, no matter what. The birth mother would be able to file for child support until the state of residency or the state where the child was born (whichever has the longest) Statutes of Limitation expired.However, she would have to establish paternity before a child support petition would be taken into consideration by the court. If at that time the biological father would not voluntarily admit to paternity or submit to testing a court order requiring him to do so would be necessary.
Can you collect child support from your child's dad if you do not list him on the birth certificate?
Depending on the state that you live in there are different procedures for establishing paternity in order to collect child support. For example in Illinois, you can go through the Department of Public Aid Child Support Enforcement Division to request assistance collecting child support. As the father has not already claimed the child by signing the birth certificate they will first contact him and ask if he is willing to sign a Voluntary admission of Paternity form. This form acts in place of the birth certificate and establishes with legal certainty that both you and he acknowledge that he is the father of the child without changing his status on the birth certificate. If he should refuse to sign a Voluntary admission of Paternity you can then ask that he be compelled by court order to submit to DNA testing to prove or disprove paternity. As the mother of the child you may do this at any time prior to the child's 18th birthday, while the putative father only has 2 years from the date of the child's birth to request that paternity be established and a birth certificate be altered. Once paternity has been established by one method or the other, he will then be asked to voluntarily agree to a child support agreement. If he does so voluntarily they will defer to the two of you to agree on an amount and schedule, and will file the order with the court for you as long as your agreement meets the minimum requirements of the state for percentage of income and regularity of payments. If he will not agree to make payments they will file a request for a child support order on the child's behalf with the court in your area and you and or your ex will be required to appear in court for a judgment from a family court judge. As I said, this is the law and process in Illinois, but most states have adopted similar procedures and you should be able to find out how to get started by calling your local public aid office.
Is there a form that the custodial parent can sign to forgive all back child support?
Not sure, but this will require court approval, form or no form.
