A court can order retroactive support (i.e., for a period prior to the beginning of current, ongoing support); however, the court must first notify the parties, establish paternity and determine the obligor's income and other salient circumstances.

Can you cancel child support then refile?
In the United States, once a Family Court has ruled on child support, you are required to pay that amount even if you are disputing or filing for a re-adjustment. That is, you will owe the amount the Court has dictated up to the point where it issues a new settlement order. You CANNOT stop payments while refiling. If the question revolves around the custodial parent filing for child support, then yes, it is entirely possible for that parent to file with the Court to terminate the non-custodial parent's child support requirement, but at a later time, re-file with the Court to require the non-custodial parent to restart payments (the new payments will be determined according to circumstances at the time of the refiling, not automatically being set to the old amounts).

Can you sue for back child support that is not court ordered?
No, before a suit for arrearages can be filed there must be a valid support order in place. The custodial parent can file for support according to the laws of the state in which he or she resides. If the order is granted the court will determine at that time whether or not any arrearages are applicable.
What happens if you give additional child support payments without a court order?
If the amounts paid are over and above the amount due in a child support order it would be considered a gift to the child's mother. If there is no existing child support order you should make payments by check. If the mother eventually seeks a child support order the court can go backward to collect child support that should have been paid. If you have proof of payments they will result in a credit.
