Yes.

Under Federal Law, the mother can file for a retroactive child support order up to the 18th birthday of the child. The child can file when he/she turns 18. The number of years of retroactive support awarded is dependent on specific state limitations, but some judges have been refusing to award them in cases where the man did not know he had a child. This however is provided that the mother had not collected any form of Welfare, which has to be repaid, irregardless. ----

Can you take the father back to court to make him pay for college for 17 year old?

If the courts have ordered child support then no. The current custodial parent is responsible for the financials of the child. If the father is meeting the current court orders then he is exempt for paying any other than child support. If the court has ordered the child to live with both parents then an exception could be made by the courts. However, should the child start college after they turn 18 the father is no longer responsible for anything to do with the child.
