Yes, within the limitations of state law. At the maximum, in Ohio, a mother has until the child turns age 23 to petition the courts to establish paternity and to request 18 years of retroactive child support. In most states the limit is age 18, with an average of 5 years retroactive. Note that in Mississippi, the child is not an adult until age 21.
