No. Georgia does not have a provision for retroactive child support. Child support begins from the date the court enters the order.
There is, however, a provision in the law that permits the custodial parent (not the child) to seek reimbursement for "past due expenditures". This is limited to the amount actually spent in caring for the child, though.
Every state honors child support orders. The original support order would stipulate when the support is to end.
If there's a court order for child support and he is not paying you have to report him to the same court that issued the order.
No, the limitation is 12 months pass the age of majority.
The child never "takes over." The CP has a claim to any and all unpaid child support (except for amounts owed to the State as reimbursement for assistance issued) until it's paid.
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.
Yes a child can sue a parent for unpaid child support if there was a child support order.
In general, no.
Yes
unless the court has ordered you pay throughout the childs college (which can age from 21-24) it ceases on the child's 18th birthday, however, if you owe backpay your obligation does not cease until that backpay is met in full regardless of the childs age
Absolutely. Check with a family lawt attorney or your local child support office for more information.
Child support can be terminated only if/when the child is adopted.
Yes. You made it, you own it.
