Legal Question in Family Law in California

Can you collect back child support if your hild is now grown?

Although there was a court order for child support my ex-husband has not paid a dime. My child is now 31 and I was wondering if there is anything i can do to collect that money for her now. She is not doing to well and could really use it.
