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.

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.
