Generally you cannot unless there are extenuating circumstances. Some examples of such are if the father was not able to be found and/or a paternity test had not been taken to prove who fathered the minor child.

Can a parent refuse child support then go to court and ask for back child support?
No. Most judges will only collect the child support due at the time that you filed for Child Support so if you filed a case with child support on June 2008 and then got it finalized July of 2009 you would only get from the date that child support was filed, no more and no less. That is the only back child support you will be getting. You can always go back to court and get the child support started and all, but you cannot ask for back child support if you refused it and you did not fill out a Child Support filed case, with your state either. Again get an attorney and/or call your child Support Enforcement Agency and make sure of the laws in your state, but this is in most states. Utah, California and Maine are all this way.
