It's not impossible but it is highly unlikely that the court would address such an issue. The premise being that the adult child waited far too long to pursue litigation. The majority of US states do have statute of limitations pertaining to the recovery of child support arreages. For states that do not have an SOL, arrearage recovery is usually only applicable when money is owed to the state due to the child/children having received public assistance.
