Child support is usually owed to the custodial parent. If a court determines that you are the payee on the order, then you would be able to pursue the collection of the past-due support.

The former custodial parent, not the now-emancipated child, is the person with standing to enforce the unpaid child support that accrued during the minority of the child. Authority: Stanton v. Stanton, 421 US 7, 11 (1975); Doak v. Doak, 1940 OK 256; Lowry v. Lowry, 1941 OK 323.
