can a mother sue a father for retroactive chid support if there was no order?

Yes.  That is why you should never piss the mother of your possible child off.

If the mom co-signed to be responsible for the son's expenses if he did not pay them, you can sue just her. If there are 5 people involved in an issue, you can sue all 5 or just 1. Does not matter. If the mom is smart, she will give the son up.

Child support orders should originate in the state where the custodial parent lives. If you took him to court originally in Tenessee he would have had to modify that court order in Tenessee, not Alaska. Then you can appeal the decision your state. You should not need a lawyer for this. If you had "good faith" support, where no court was involved, then he could have legally filed in Alaska which then requires you to appeal to the courts in his state. The arrearages should only have gone back to the time you seperated not to when the child was born unless you seperated then. The fact that the child lives with him 47% of the time is going to severly limit the amount of support you could get from him. Consider this...he could file for support from you for the time the child lives with him. All of the papers you recieved from the court concerning the decisions made should tell you where you need to appeal. If you do not already have legal custody of your daughter you should file for it.

There could be several reasons why you have not received the child support yet.  \nIn my state IF a child received any state aid like medicaid, food stamps or such, then before the mother gets any money then the child support will go to pay back the services.  \nYou need to contact the child and social services agency to find out what is going on.  They may not have your address.   \nIt could be many things including he may be not telling the truth.\nGood luck

The child support fund is not fixed. It can be determined based on the ability of your estranged husband to provide the amount. \n\nHowever, the amount or percentage can be established by the Family Court. Don't depend too much on that fund. Even if the court will issue the order, the father might look for other ways NOT to give that support.\n\nWhat can be sure here is that official sanctions can be imposed on the father if he fails to follow the order of the court or to provide what he has promised you or what you have agreed upon.

The answer is not a straight yes or no.  More information here is needed.  What state do you live in?  Do you currently have a child support order that he has violated?\n\nLet's take California for instance.  If you do not have a child support order already in place, then you and your daughter are screwed.  Constitutionally, the California courts are without authority to order back support which pre-dates your filing of a motion for support.  The court only has jurisdiction to order support from the date you file the motion forward.\n\nIf you do have a current child support order that he has not been paying then there are many ways to enforce the back support.  It does not vanish when your daughter turns 18.  He owes it all plus interest at 10% per year.  The best way to enforce is it to obtain a wage garnishment order from the superior court.  In addition, contact your local District Attorneys' office.  People who skip out on child support are akin to murderers in the eyes of the law.  It is serious business.\n\nFeel free to contact me through this service if you'd like to discuss the matter.

As a social worker you are not the priority and even if it is a private agency you are not a customer, at least as far as agency policy goes.  The mother may have changed her mind and or her rights are not completely severed until 30 days after the child is born she can change her mind.  As far as getting your money back i don't think there is a way sorry

You would have to go back to family court and file a petition on him for non support. Make sure you take your legal papers with you when you go to show that you did have an enforcement in order

Yes. If she files a claim for back child support. You as the Father should have volunteered to help take care of your child.

I'm sure it depends on the state you live in, take Okla. If the noncustodial parent hasn't paid support for 12 out of 14 mos. it's pretty easy. I'd check with a lawyer, you'll need one anyway and most will give you a free consult.

Man, I just went through this! If her bio. father pays child support, then yes he must be contacted to sign away his rights even if she has NEVER laid her eyes on him. If he doesn't pay or contribute in any way, when your child has gone without ANY paternal support for 5 consecutive years, then all you have to do is run it in the classified ads in your town for 4 weeks. The newspaper will give you an affidavit and you will have to sign one stating that you have not received any support from her bio. father. After that point, it is pretty smooth sailing. Hopefully you won't get an A-hole for a judge like I did... the same judge that ordered my son's father to only pay $96 a month for support <--- Please try to hold your laughter until the end of the paragraph. Thank you.

Your mother may have a claim against your father, but you do not. It is a sad thing that your father did not support you, but you have no right to collect from him now that you are an adult!!

The mother would only get child support from the time the case is filed for child support...I know this because I waited eight years to file on my now exboyfriend and could not get back child support, it started from the date I filed, and more than likely it will start from the date she filed...You will need to contact your division of child support enforment or contact juvi-courts in your state and get the process started before the child gets older.   good luck.

well if she just got the order it probaly an emergency order. he should recieve his day in court in about a week.however these usually are civil matter which means she may have got the judge to grant her this on emotional abuse sounds like he doesn't need her anyway .However make sure he does not contact her in any way she can prove. in ohio the first time you violate it you can recieve 180 days second time it turns into a felony. so what state do you live in ?e-mail me if you like I actually have a cpo against someone and know a little bit about this stuff. What she has done is really cruel and ultimately makes it harder for people who really needs protection.

Not necessarily. For 12 years I was the custodian of my son, however did not have legal custody until I went to court to get it. This of course was in Alaska and in Alaska you do not have legal custody of your children unless it is awarded to you in a court of law. Each state is different. But without a custody order, no parent has legal custody and each parent has a right to equal access to the child.

You need a good lawyer.  Ajudge can order anything he wants, but this sounds highly unusual.  I am appalled at this one, and frankly am speechless.  You sound like you have been railroaded.  Please call legal aide and seek some help.  Good Luck.
