Do you have to pay back child support to child when paternity was proven after 18?

No and you pay the support to the parent not the kid. If the child is 18 there is no longer a need for child support. If someone has been paying for you and believed they were the father they can sue you for the money though.

Your ex denies being the father and did not put his name on the birth certificate after the DNA test proves fatherhood does he pay back child support from the first day of birth?
P.S. OR DOES CHILD SUPPORT START FROM THE DAY PATERNITY IS PROVEN????
Can an unmarried father in Texas be ordered to pay back child support for the time period before the court ordered paternity test established his paternity?
Yes. First paternity must be established legally.If paternity is established through the court ordered DNA test the mother can request child support for the time during which no child support was paid by the father prior to the DNA test.
Could you claim back child support for your child if partner you are now with the birth father prior to paternity test?
confusing
Can i get my money back for child support on a kid that wasn't mine?
Probably not. Paternity must be established before support is ordered and I'm sure your case was no different.
If you did not know you had a child do you have to pay back child support?
You can still be liable while underage. It depends on wether the other parent needs said support & you should test for paternity-not take someone's word for it.
Can you sue for back child support if you never filed?
Generally you cannot unless there are extenuating circumstances. Some examples of such are if the father was not able to be found and/or a paternity test had not been taken to prove who fathered the minor child.
If you have a warrant for child support and you bond out and go to court for a paternity test and find out its not yours do you get the bond money back?
No, in those states that do allow you to petition for a paternity test, after an order is in place, your child support must be current first. Twenty states do not allow the challenge, period. see links
How do you stop child support if your not the father?
Paternity will have to be established by DNA test before the court makes you pay child support so I wonder how you began paying in the first place. You will have to prove you are not the father and then go back to the same court that issued the child support order.
What if a father pays child support and the child is not his can he get the money back?
No - when the support order was enter the father was deemed as "the father". If subsequent tests prove otherwise you still need to go to court to nullify the support order and place paternity where it belongs. You may have to continue paying support until the real father is proven.This is also highly variable by state. If the father can prove paternity fraud, then it may be possible to recover some funds. However, in most states, the time to contest paternity is only available at the initial child support hearing - once that court has determined paternity, then while a subsequent court may modify the paternity payments (including ordering them stopped if paternity is disproved), no payments may be refunded.While this may seem hideously unfair to the father, the goal for the Family Court is not fairness to the parents, it is promotion of the child's welfare, and, in this case, it is more in the child's interest that *someone* pays child support, and thus, refunding child support payments damages the child more than the father. It's harsh, but that's the viewpoint of the courts.
How can you get back child support after that was never paid?
I suggest that you contact your State's child support agency. When you get an interview with them, bring all the papers relating to your child support: birth certificates, acknowledgments of paternity, court orders, payment records, etc. Be polite but persistent. Good luck!
Can you ever get back in years child support owed to you?

How is a mother legally able to receive back child support on a child who is 19 and married without any paternity testing and without the father's signature on the birth certificate in Arkansas?
A mother could obtain a child support order under those circumstances if the father didn't appear at the hearing, contest his paternity and request a DNA test to disprove his paternity.At the time of the hearing for child support the father has the right to contest his paternity and request a paternity test to make certain he is the father. He must show up at the hearing prepared to deny that he is the father. If he doesn't show up and contest the charge then a child support order will be issued. If he is determined to be the father (even by default) then he is obligated to support his child and that includes back child support that can be assessed according to state laws that vary from state to state. If he didn't request a DNA test then he should consult with an attorney now to determine if he has any options.A mother could obtain a child support order under those circumstances if the father didn't appear at the hearing, contest his paternity and request a DNA test to disprove his paternity.At the time of the hearing for child support the father has the right to contest his paternity and request a paternity test to make certain he is the father.
