Child Support never paid

[enigma]

In a recent, painful conversation with my Mother, I discoverd that my Father never paid child support. My parents divorced in 1975. Can he be sued [ by me] for back child support?
I am now 32.

No

At best he would be held accountable for any arrearage he'd have from any judgement (if he has one) from the 1975 order of divorce from your mother, but that money would be owed to your mother for her raising you as a "reimbursement" for her expenses for what she's already paid in the process of your upbringing, not as a cash settlement paid to you. Pretty much it would depend mostly on what the details of what your mother's divorce decree states, and what she wants to do with it.
