Just about forever....the laws really make child support payments unavoidavle by time of bankruptcy, etc. Get 'em!
until the child is 18
As long as you're not on Welfare, contact child support enforcement.

Until they and the interest penalties are paid.
No, there's a 12 month limit past the age of majority.

It can take up to six months
The child support is paid to the parent, not the child, to pay for the expenses of the child. So as long as you have a roof over your head, food in your belly and clothes on your back my guess is that the child support is being used correctly.
As soon as it's paid off it reverts back to you.

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.
