Massachusetts requires that all parents pay child support to their children regardless of marriage status. This means that if you conceived a child in Massachusetts, you are required to pay child support.
The custodial parent of the child has the right to sue for child support regardless of the child's age. A custodial parent can come after the non custodial parent at any time for back child support. The custodial parent can sue the non custodial parent no matter how old the child is. If the child is 18, and the non custodial parent has never paid child support, the custodial parent can sue for 18 years of past child support. The court has the authority to order the non custodial parent to pay 18 years worth of child support.
