Yes DNA is DNA. As long as the child is 18 and under (or 21 and under if he/she is a student) child support can be filed for, recovered and even back dated

In Mississippi if a father has been court ordered to pay child support and later gets on disability does he still have to pay child support?
It will need to be modified, but if he goes on SSD, there's a separate child benefit check. If SSI, no as SSI is not attachable for child support, so the obligation will be suspended.
How many months behind in child support can you be before your rights are taken away?
none as they are separate issues and most child support arrears are on men who learned years later that they were a father, when ordered to pay back to the birth of the child.
The father denies his child and there i no court order child support and now 6yrs later he wants to give his right up. Does he have to pay for that last 6yrs of support before he give his rights up?
Not if no order was in place.
Who is responsible for child support the fathers name on birthcertificate or biological father?
Yes. The best example I've seen of this involved a 27 year old Michigan man ordered to pay 14 years in retroactive child support in 1997. The woman he was having a relationship with at age 12 was married, so when she got, she assumed the boy could not be the father due to his age. Fifteen years later, her husband filed for divorce and custody. She countered by stating that he may not be the father of the child. Paternity found that he was not, however by making this claim, she could not receive child support from him, so she filed against the bio dad and was awarded $85,000 based on his average earnings at the time of the filing. The fact that the child had been supported by another man during those years was not a consideration. This is one of the problems with having an affair with a married woman. This can come back you bite the man up to 23 years later. see link below

No, there is no need for child support this late.
If you sign birth certificate do you have to pay child support if later you are found to not be the father?
No. However, if the alleged father has signed the birth certificate, he is acknowledging that the child is his. There are steps to take in order to be taken off of the birth certificate and relieved of the obligation of child support, including a paternity test and an amendment to the birth certificate.
How many months behind on child support may they be behind before their rights are taking away in the state of Texas?

Is a blood test required before a legitimacy of a child is granted even if the unwed father is already paying child support and has the child on his medical plan?
No, but he may still need to register the fact with the state. Note that if the test was not done before being ordered to pay support, if he later learns he is not the father, in a majority of the cases, it cannot be overturned.
Paternity blood tests?
In states like Kansas, in order to have the right to challenge a child being put up for adoption, soon after being born, the potential father must begin paying Child Support 18-Weeks into the Pregnancy. But, if the potential father begins paying, and later learns he's not the father of the child, he must continue paying in 20 states, and with limitations in those states that do allow men paying support to later challenge paternity.see links
If a child turns 18 does the father that didn't pay child support still owe back child support to the mother in SC?
The obligation ends when the child reaches 18 years of age or the child graduates from high school, whichever occurs later. A child will also automatically be ineligible for child support if that child is removed from disability status by a court order. There is no upper age limit for graduating from high school, but in most states it's age 19. see link
Does the father have to pay child support out of pocket if his case is closed?
No, although he should not allow the case to be closed when the child is underage, as it could be reopened later in another state, with a retroactive amount owing.
