Yes. She has until the child turns age 18 to file for 2-18 years of retroactive child support, depending on individual state limits, though some judges are beginning to deny them. Judge David Grey Ross, Commissioner of the Federal Office of Child Support Enforcement until 2004 opposed the practice. Once a child reaches age 18, they can file up to the age limit for the state from age 19 to 23, but the retroactive amount is still limited to state guidelines and the cutoff period for that state. In New York, at age 18, the child cab receive five years retroactive with another three years continued support until age 21. The father cannot be awarded any enforceable parental rights to a child that has reached the age of majority, but in Mississippi, the age of majority is age 21.
