How can you sue someone for child support?

Ok you might hear this a lot,but go see a lawyer.Many of them offer to speak to you for 30 minutes for free.This way you'll know if you could do it or not.Or you can look online and see if c/s is paid retroactively in YOUR state,and if so then you can get child support from birth based on what he makes now.In my state you can only get c/s for the time after you filed and not before,so it my state you could not do this.Some states also allow for kids to get c/s as long as they are in college,so again it might be possible.Just don't tell your dad this.Blindside him,so that he doesn't run.If you are able to file you'll need his address,phone number and full name.I'm really sorry your mom never filed.I hope she knew that child support has nothing to do with visitation.

And,as for me,my child's father is a deadbeat dad,so I filed.He's still a deadbeat dad,but c/s takes the money directly out of his check every month.I'm glad I filed for it.The person above is right.Your mother may have also lied and told you that she wasn't getting it when she really was.Some kids think that they should get the full check,so that can use it as spending money instead of letting their parents use it for food and things they really need.She may have also filed for it,but your dad might have just been dodging payments all these years,which means he has some arrears.
