Legal Question in Family Law in Michigan

My son's father and I have been separated since my son was one year old, and he is now 8 years old. We were never married. My son's father moved to Florida and doesn't really visit our son except for occasional holidays. I have never filed for child support and my son's father does not help financially. If I file for child support today, can I get child support retroactive? If so, how far back will the courts determine child support?
