    She is very unlikely to be successful. Child support, if ordered, is payable to the custodial parent, not the child. If the custodial parent does not sue you for it, that is the custodial parent's decision. The child can not.

    First its not a good idea to piggyback your question on someone else's. This can lead to confusion. You should start a new thread. So I've moved your question to its own thread.

    Since you posted this under an old thread about support after 18 we are assuming your daughter is trying get support from her father. Did you ever apply for support from him? Was a support order ever issued?

    I see you posted another question so I merged the threads. Its still unclear whether you were the custodial parent or not or whether support was ordered.
