Do not do it. The arrears need to be paid and no amount of giving way will ensure that the father will change his habits in the future. Let him take care of the current problem on his own. He is an adult and your child comes first.

May the father of the child waive child support arrears if they both have joint custody but father has physical custody and mother has child for summer and holidays?
No. If there's a court order against the father, which resulted in any kind of arrears, the father is still responsible for it. Arrears are paid and there's no statute of limitations on it, as well as, any support and/or custody modifications.

No. If the state is supporting the mother and child the mother has no right to free the father from his responsibility to support his own children. The state will pursue him for child support.
Does the father still have to pay back child support owed to the state if he remarries the mother of the children and is currently supporting them and repaying the back child support?

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.
If arrears is still owed once the child turns 18 will child support payments continue until the arrears is paid off?
It all depends on WHO the arrears are being paid to. If the father was paying support directly to the mother, the back support/arrears would go to the mother. The support was never owed to the child, who has no standing in it. The payments are supposed to assist the mother by helping her to raise the child until the legal age of adulthood or whatever age was specified in the support decree. The support money belongs to her and if she chooses to turn it over to the child that his her business. Legally, the child has no claim on it. ON THE OTHER HAND: If the arrears are being paid to the state - the father is simply reimbursing the state for spending taxpayers money to support her for all the time he did not pay, and neither the mother nor the child has any claim on it.
What are the mother's rights if the father is not paying his child support?
The mother must return to court and file a motion for contempt. Every state has a child support enforcement division that will assist her in collecting arrears but she must help herself by filing a complaint and pursuing the matter through the proper channels.
