Do you have to pay child support for the years it wasn't filed?

Depending on related factors, from 2-18 years worth. Florida allows 2 years, while Michigan and California allows 18 years, provided a judge approves the award. But, Welfare can override state laws and a judge's decision, if the mother was collecting benefits at any time in the child's life. I've seen awards exceeding $100,000. In a Michigan case, the order was against a man who got the woman pregnant when he was 12 years old. His retroactive child support was calculated at $600 a month, time 14 years.

Can a 35 year old adult child collect back child support from his biological father in new york state after the mother who never filed for child support is dead?
No. The statute of limitations for child support arrears in New York is twenty years from the date of the default. However, in your case it seems that your mother never obtained a court order for child support. You have no cause of action.
You received child support after child turned 21 in Missouri?
The custodial parent may have filed for support in the previous years and the non-custodial parent now has to pay back support and arreage (late payment charges) They should have been paying..now it's time...to pay up. It depends on the states child support laws and what is written in the child support order. But if the non-custodial paying has failed to pay when order was written all that time...well like I said...it's time to pay up.
Who is responsible for child support the fathers name on birthcertificate or biological father?
Yes. The best example I've seen of this involved a 27 year old Michigan man ordered to pay 14 years in retroactive child support in 1997. The woman he was having a relationship with at age 12 was married, so when she got, she assumed the boy could not be the father due to his age. Fifteen years later, her husband filed for divorce and custody. She countered by stating that he may not be the father of the child. Paternity found that he was not, however by making this claim, she could not receive child support from him, so she filed against the bio dad and was awarded $85,000 based on his average earnings at the time of the filing. The fact that the child had been supported by another man during those years was not a consideration. This is one of the problems with having an affair with a married woman. This can come back you bite the man up to 23 years later. see link below
What is the procedure to end child suppport in California?
No, it doesn't; you have to file to terminate it. In my case, my son turned 18 while he was still in high school. The court order stated that support was to continue until he turned 18, or left high school, which ever was later. Even after graduation, child support payments continued until I filed proof with the court that he had graduated.

You are required by law to support your biological child. That obligation has nothing to do with any other non-related children belonging to your child's mother. If you live in the United States the court will determine how much child support you must pay for your child by using your state child support guidelines.

If i received child support from someone who wasnt my biological father and just found out about my biological father can i get back child support from him since he decieded i wasnt his obligation?
You are not the one to get child support all over again, but the man who has been paying wrongly all these year is entitled to get his money back from your biological father. He have to sue him for that. You have been paid for and supported already. If you are not of legal age yet and is entitled to child support you have to have a DNA test or something proving he is your biological father so you can take him to court so he can pay for you the years left until you are an adult.

Can a father with sole custody of his 21-years-old daughter take the mother to court for back support?
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.
What is the length of time for someone to claim child support?
The length of time for someone to claim child support can vary depending on the jurisdiction. Generally, the custodial parent can claim child support until the child reaches the age of majority, which is typically 18 years old. Some jurisdictions may allow for an extension of child support if the child is pursuing higher education.
