Does he even have that kind of money?
How long until he gets out of jail?

Oh I missed it was your mother that owes.
I don't think you can take her to court for back child support but your dad should take it back to child support court asap. She is responsible to pay the back support.

The question has been posted whether the child can receive the child support directly instead of the mother and the answers have varied.

I don't think you can - it's money owed your father for your support, not your mother's debt to you.

It would appear you are no longer in your father's house - because, of course, he's in prison - and so I believe you might be emancipated.

You need to ask an Attorney these questions.
