No; after the child turns 18 there's no more child support. That assumes support stops when the child reaches 18. In another hypothetical there is the case where the paying ex spouse, has arrears that have accrued until child reaches 18. Mother, then files for relief to collect those liquidated but not ongoing arrears and for contempt. Husband makes some post decree payments and due to business debt etc he file a ch 7 petition and lists the Wife as a creditor. Ex Wife gets notice of the bk and fails to file anything, no proof of claim, or objection to the discharge and no adversary proceeding. After the debt is discharged in the ch7, ex-wife files for relief to enforce the court order that was dishcharged--husband files a motion to quash claiming that a claim fo arrears of child support after the child reaches 18 is in fact a liquidated claim. As a result, it is subject to dishcharge on these facts.

Can a child who has become an adult cancel back child support owed by the non-custodial parent?
No. The back child support is owed to the custodial parent and the amount due doesn't go away until it has been paid.
How do you get ex-husband to pay back child support if the child is an adult?
You don't. Once the child is an adult, child support is moot and the ex is home free.
Can you stop back child support when the child is now an adult?
No, it is still owed with interest. The back child support was supposed to be paid while the child was growing up. Check your state laws.
Can an adult sue for back child support if the child is raised and no support was ever ordered or established in Texas?
The child can file prior to age 19.
If a parent never paid child support while the child was a minor is the child entitled to any back child support now that the child is an adult?
yes dead beat.
If a parent of an adult is getting back court ordered child support and the parent is gambling it away can the adult child get it directly?
extremely unlikely
Do you as an adult have any rights to the back child support your mother is getting?
No. The purpose of collecting back child support is to financially reimburse the custodial parent for the support he or she provided in the past. It is not intended to provide present or future support. The debt is owed entirely to the mother in this case, since she was the one who provided financial support to the child. There are cases in which an adult can receive the back child support owed to their parent, but these usually involve the death of that parent.
What happens if you owe child support however the child is now an adult?
You still owe the back support. Once the child reaches the age of majority (as defined by the support order) there will be no continuing obligation.
Can you receive back pay for child support if the child is an adult now?
Generally, no - although there might be an exception for a severely disabled child.

Child support that is awarded and not paid can be claimed by and adult child. A child support order usually expires when the child turns 18, but anything that is arrears can still be claimed by the child.
How do i submit a form for back pay child support if im the child but grew up?
Most states do not allow a child to collect back support as an adult. Although the right to child support belongs to the child, support is payable to the custodial parent to assist in the care and upbringing of that child. If the custodial parent did not receive that support, then she (or he) made contributions that should have come from the other parent, and the right to collect the back support belongs to her.
Do you have to go back to court when the child turns 21?
If there is a child support order in place, and your child is now an adult and has completed their education, then yes. You can have the order modified to stop child support as the child no longer meets the requirements of child support
