Can I receive back child support owed to me by my father...
I am 26 years old and my father had a child support order to pay support for both me and my sister. Every time he got a job and the withholding order went through and the support started getting pulled from his paychecks he would quit his job, he did this numerous times to avoid paying his support, or sometimes he would just find a job that paid 'under the table' so there would be no record (so to speak) of his employment with the people. Last I had known he still had back support owed to us, although I do not know the amount owed at this time. Is there anyway that I, and maybe my sister, go after him for the back support he never paid and if I/We can go after him for it how am I(we) supposed to go about it and would WE receive the back support owed to us or would the State/Government get it?

Many times until both me and my sister were no longer full time college students cause the order said payments were to stop at age 18 unless we were enrolled full time college students then he would have to pay until we were both 24. She got nowhere

What about in an instance where the child did not live nor receive much, if any, support from the mother but was instead raised by the maternal grandparents (since 6mos old) and received all support from them? The mother still had full custody though
