In most cases, no. 35 is well beyond the statute of limitations for most states.

No.
The order goes to child support enforcement to persecute.
Your mother should have pursued your father in court for child support when you were young. In most jurisdictions you have no legal standing to sue your father for child support now, and especially if there was no original child support order. If there was an order at some time your mother may be able to sue for arrears but that seems not to be the case.
Yes, even if the mother never did.
No, that option is only available to children whose mother never filed for child support on a father whose never lived in the home.
No. The statute of limitations for child support arrears in New York is twenty years from the date of the default. However, in your case it seems that your mother never obtained a court order for child support. You have no cause of action.
The laws will vary state to state, but if paternity has been established by DNA test or a signed birth certificate and the father is not paying child support, the mother can take him to court for payment.
Only after reaching the age of majority, provided the mother has never filed or received any. This only involves contacting child support enforcement.
If the mother isn't receiving any kind of assistance from the government, she can waive the right to child support from the father, but it wouldn't be in the child's best interest. Child support is the child's right, not the mother's. If the mother were really well off financially, or if she didn't want the father anywhere around the child, she could waive the child's right to support. The father has a responsibility to help take care of the child he helped bring into this world.ClarificationGenerally, in the US, a mother cannot legally waive a child's right to support from their father. A child is legally entitled to be supported by both parents. However, the mother can choose to not involve the court if the parents were never married or if there will be no divorce action filed. However, if the mother doesn't want the money she should put in a college fund for the child.
Laws regarding emancipation vary by state, but in most cases, a child must typically be at least 16 to petition for emancipation. Even if a child is not emancipated, custody arrangements can be determined through the legal system to allow a child to live with the non-custodial parent if it is in the child's best interest. It is advisable to consult with a family law attorney for guidance specific to your situation.
If your father was given total custody of you and your brother then he could go to court to get you back. However, (and you would have to ask your mother this) if your mother and father have joint custody (such as you or your brother seeing your mother on spring break or other holidays) then child support would continue as was instructed by the courts. If your father had total custody and your mother never saw you, then she could file for partial child support. I know it's confusing, but simply put, if your father doesn't pay your mother child support she should see at least Child Welfare regarding this matter and your father should be paying her some child support regarding you. Good luck hon Marcy
