There is no cut off age for establishing a child support order. Even if the child is 18 and has graduated high school, child support can still be sought from the non-custodial parent.

However, the judge may determine that a reduced amount is owed, or even that no child support is owed at all, if the non-custodial parent was unaware of his parenthood or if the custodial parent never attempted to contact him to make him aware of his parenthood.

Unless the child is severely handicapped, the court is not going to enter an order for support once the child has attained majority and/or become emancipated.

You filed for sole custody he never showed now he is filing for modification of support?

When he did not show for the hearing you received a Default Judgment in which you received what you asked for or that the Courts seemed fit. Everyone that is involved in any type of divorce case or SAPCR regarding their children have the right to modify. If his child support payments are the problem it will be the courts decision to decide if he is paying the correct amount or if he is overpaying. If you have questions about the guidelines of child support amounts and how they are calculated in Texas. I don't know where you are but this is based on the knowledge I have in Texas Family Law.

Can a parent refuse child support then go to court and ask for back child support?

No. Most judges will only collect the child support due at the time that you filed for Child Support so if you filed a case with child support on June 2008 and then got it finalized July of 2009 you would only get from the date that child support was filed, no more and no less. That is the only back child support you will be getting. You can always go back to court and get the child support started and all, but you cannot ask for back child support if you refused it and you did not fill out a Child Support filed case, with your state either. Again get an attorney and/or call your child Support Enforcement Agency and make sure of the laws in your state, but this is in most states. Utah, California and Maine are all this way.

Can child support be reduced due to noncustodial parent moving out of state?

That is not generally a reason to reduce child support payments. The child support guidelines where the case is filed will still be used. You should visit the court with jurisdiction and inquire there.That is not generally a reason to reduce child support payments.
