That completely depends on your state of residence (or country if not in the USA) and the age of majority for that location.

All states have statutes of limitations outlining how long a parent has to file for and recover any back child support if an order wasn't filed when the child was a minor. If such an order was filed, then yes, the father may direct the child support enforcement agency in his state of residence to collect any support in arrears.

Can a father file for child support to be able to see his daughter?

The father would file for a visitation order, not child support. Generally, if the parents are unmarried the mother has sole custody and control in most states until the father can establish his paternity. Remember, a child's mother can always be identified by medical records. Since the father didn't give birth and he was not legally married at the time of the birth he can establish his paternity through a DNA test. A paternity test can be arranged through the court. Once paternity is established in court, the father can request visitations or custody through the court. If the mother retains physical custody she can request that the court issue a child support order. If the father gets physical custody he can request a child support order.

You have joint custody with your ten year old daughter father moved to Kansas you live in CA and want to move to OR and he doesn't allow it?

If you have Joint Legal Custody, then neither parent can physically change residences without the approval of the other. If, per the question, the daughter is living with the father, or the father has "primary" custody, then you can move wherever "you" want, at least in my perception.
