Re: money owed by father

If the father was actually placed under a valid court order and failed to pay it, your mother or caretaker payee(rather than you)would be entitled to pursue any outstanding arrearages which remained unpaid even after you achieved your majority.

However, if the matter remained "pending" indefinitely and no valid and enforceable order was ever established, it's now too late and none could be established at this time.
