You cannot collect child support from 40 years ago. The statute of limitation has long passed.

In Illinois at least, there is no statute of limitations on unpaid child support relating to an existing order.

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 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.
