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.

Can a 49-year-old adult child sue their biological parent for child support arrearages?
It's not impossible but it is highly unlikely that the court would address such an issue. The premise being that the adult child waited far too long to pursue litigation. The majority of US states do have statute of limitations pertaining to the recovery of child support arreages. For states that do not have an SOL, arrearage recovery is usually only applicable when money is owed to the state due to the child/children having received public assistance.
You never got child support from your dad and your now 22 yrs old can you still get child support?
No, you had until your 19th birthday to file. Are you sure your mother never got any? A lot of relationships with mothers are being destroyed when adult children learn they were lied to.
