You should speak to a social worker at the Family Court in your area. Go down to the court and speak to someone at the desk at the court. Tell them about your situation and that your mother has not been willing to pursue a child court order in the past. You are entitled to support from your father. Perhaps the court could help you get some support from him that you can use toward college expenses. You must obtain a court order for support so you need advice from the court on how you can proceed.
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.
Up until the child turns age 18 and even if the father was never notified of the existence of the child, as is common.
It's possible that if you file for child support he will file for visitation - assuming he isn't neglectful or abusive, visitation is his right as one of the parents of the child.
Up to the statutory limits for your state. Depending on the state, she has until the child is 23 to file. Anything you have been paying can be considered a gift. You need to immediately request a voluntary order to be established. see links below
If you live in the US... The child never receives child support. Child support is due to the custodial parent. In most states it ends at 18 or graduation from high school, whichever occurs later. However, in some states, it can ordered beyond high school if the child is in college.
impossible Since the purpose of child support is to support a child, it cannot be waived by the child's mother. The child has to be supported, whatever opinion the mother may have about it. So no, that would not be a valid agreement. If a man fathers a child, he is liable for child support.
Yes, or he should. It's not legal to pay outside a court order. I teach fathers to never do this.
Yes a child can sue a parent for unpaid child support if there was a child support order.
In general, no.
He will not pay to you since you no longer have the child, but the both of you would have to pay child support to the one who get the child. If he has the child you have to pay to him. It is both biological parents responsibility and obligation to pay for their child's expenses, even if parental rights are terminated. The only way to get out of it is if the child is adopted.
Yes
Absolutely. Check with a family lawt attorney or your local child support office for more information.
Child support can be terminated only if/when the child is adopted.
Yes. You made it, you own it.
yes dead beat.
If the father of your child has another child by someone will the courts or child support enforcement reduce my support of my child. ? Are there any special circumstances if the father of my child never married me or this other person.? Can I still persue increases of child support even though the man has another child? Sincerely.

If there was an order entered, the statute of limitations never expires on unpaid child support. If there was never an order entered, you're not going to get one entered at this point.
