Up to age 18, retroactive five years maximum, if approved. Judge David Grey Ross, Commissioner of the Federal Office of Child Support Enforcement opposes this practice.
An unmarried father cannot "choose" to not pay child support. The laws in every state require that a father pay for the support of his child. The mother must bring an action to the appropriate court so that a child support order can be established. Visitation rights are separate and a father can have visitation rights established by the court. Visitation rights are not dependent on paying child support.
yes
he will have to pay back child support if owed unless mother agrees not to or he will have to pay back support if owed to state like if mother was on state aid,but no he will not have to pay for future support
Yes, but not retroactive.
Well if the Bio father is unaware of the baby then I don't believe he has to pay child support because the mom decided that the father didn't need to know about the child and if the child is adopted (like me) either by a step dad or by a different set of parent AND the father know about the child Then the father would need to pay back child support.
Yes (but not SSI).
I doubt there were many child support laws back then. Normally, only the custodial parent of the child can file for child support, not the actual child.
As long as you're not on Welfare, contact child support enforcement.
Yes, he is still the father.
until arrangements are made to pay it

Yes, but get a court order confirming this.
A father cannot petition for emancipation, the child has to. And it doesn't relieve him of paying back support payments.
If you mean, child support that was ordered but not paid - yes.
If you were overpaid, yes.
yes
If you're in the US, no, a child cannot sue his parent for child support (payment for child support is not due to the child).
