Best Answer

YES.

Perhaps.

If you already have a court order you don't need to sue, you just need to collect. If you don't have a court order that is going to be a state by state and judge by judge question. Almost across the board you will get support from when you file the case if you get a support order. However there is no answer on when you can get back due before you file. Ask for it. You may get it. And you may not.

Most states have SOL's pertaining to child support arrearages.

Depending on the age and state statues in your area. However in most cases a child CANNOT sue for child support. The child support claim has to be filed by the custodial parent.

How long does an adult child have to sue for back child support if a child support order was never issued?

Your mother should have pursued your father in court for child support when you were young. In most jurisdictions you have no legal standing to sue your father for child support now, and especially if there was no original child support order. If there was an order at some time your mother may be able to sue for arrears but that seems not to be the case.
