Generally, child support is only "backdated" to the date the custodial parent files for support.

Can a parent refuse child support then go to court and ask for back child support?

No. Most judges will only collect the child support due at the time that you filed for Child Support so if you filed a case with child support on June 2008 and then got it finalized July of 2009 you would only get from the date that child support was filed, no more and no less. That is the only back child support you will be getting. You can always go back to court and get the child support started and all, but you cannot ask for back child support if you refused it and you did not fill out a Child Support filed case, with your state either. Again get an attorney and/or call your child Support Enforcement Agency and make sure of the laws in your state, but this is in most states. Utah, California and Maine are all this way.


What if the custodial parent does not want back child support can it be done?

The child support is for the child so maybe out it in a account for the child is a better idea and it will be appreciated one day when it's time to move out. If there's a court order for back child support you have to go through the court.
