No but that adult child's parent can file a claim for child support arrears that have been determined by the court. The arrears are due to the parent. You should consult with an attorney or an advocate at the family court as soon as possible if there is a substantial amount owed. Claims against an estate must be filed promptly.

No, as an adult there is no longer need for a child support. Your father should have done this when you were a child.

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.
