It doesn't work that way (usually).

What the Judge will PROBABLY do is order you to pay ongoing child support, and order Dad to repay the child support he owes you (back child support).

This happens IF somebody brings these matters (the child's change of residence) to the court's attention by way of a motion for modification.
