In Indiana, an award may be retroactive to the date of the child's birth if the parents were never married. If they were, retroactive child support may be awarded from the time the parents separated. So if either applies, yes they can go back that far and even further depending on the circumstances.

If a judge said so you have to. Often child support is required for additional years if the child is attending formal education toward a certification or degree.

Can you go to jail for not paying child support on a child over 18 years old in Indiana?
That depends on the circumstances. Indiana reserves the right to jail parents found in contempt of court for failure to pay any child support in arrears no matter the age of the child, or failure to abide by an extended support order (where support is modified by the court to continue past the child's age of emancipation, which is 19 in Indiana, recently lowered from age 21 ). In general, if no support is in arrears, Indiana child support terminates when the child reaches the age 19 although a provision remains for the "educational needs" of a child over 19 but doesn't spell out exactly what falls into that category.

Can you be emancipated at 16 in Indiana?
No, you cannot.Indiana Code (IC 31-16-6-6) sets the age of emancipation at 21 years of age.In Indiana, child support is automatically terminated at age 21, unless the child has been determined to be legally incapacitated or an order for educational support beyond high school is established prior to the child turning 21.
In Colorado what are the laws for a mother who has not attempted to see her child in eight years and ordered to pay the father child support?
It is just like if the father did not see the child. He would have to pay child support. Visitation and custody are 2 separate things in the court system. Whether a parent sees a child or not, support is usually still issued. If the judge signed a support order and it is not payed, that parent can go to jail for unpayed child support.
Can father go back after closing the case for child support after 4 years and reopen it and the mother pay all back child support when we came to agreements?
Yes, he can. If the father was the sole supporter of the child(ren) for 4 years without any contribution from the mother, the mother is responsible for her share of this time. Furthermore, any agreement and, in most states needs to be approved by a judge. In some cases the judge may decide that the amount of the agreement may not be enough to support the child(ren) solely based on the father's income.
If a child is 20 years old living on their own in another state an Order Terminating an order of support was signed by a judge and agreed to by both parents in NY can it be reopened?
Since the judge should not have agreed to that, only on an appeal of his order. In cases involving New York jurisdiction, support continues until age 21, regardless of where the child lives. Did the judge stop the support order, or did he also release jurisdiction over the case, since the child no longer live there?
