Biological parents are only required to pay support for their minor children unless there are special circumstances such as an 'adult child' being physically and/or mentally challenged.
In some cases where the absentee parent has not paid support and the child/children have reached the age of majority he or she can be held liable for any applicable arrearages. However, the lawsuit to pursue such a matter must be initiated by the parent or person(s) who held legal custodial rights when the children in question were of minor age.
