Yes is the answer!Collecting it is another story. However it would be in your best interest if at all possible to work out some sort of timetable between the two of you before "you" will start paying. Sort of like an advanced credit on your part. Not sure how informed she is but if you go back to court at this point you will be ordered to pay child support "now" and you will probably never collect on the back child support. The law is designed to help the children in the present tense and anything else is your problem . Hope this helps!
Yes, if the father is not given custody he will be obligated to keep paying support to whomever the court awards custody or guardianship of the children.
The father does, since the mother is paying her share towards the children in the form of child support.
The parent would get support from the children's father--only while the children are in her custody as minors.
The mother. The father have to prove paternity in court and petition for visitation or custody. He can then also pay child support.
Guardianship, not custody
If the children live with their mother in Florida and the father never established his paternity legally, a Georgia court would have no jurisdiction over the children. Their mother has sole legal custody. If the father wants to establish his "parental rights" he will need to establish his paternity where the children are domiciled. Once he has established that he is their father he can request joint custody or a visitation order and the mother can request a child support order if the children are to remain in her physical custody.If the parties want to make the change in custody by consent of the parties he should consult with an attorney to determine how that can be accomplished.If the children live with their mother in Florida and the father never established his paternity legally, a Georgia court would have no jurisdiction over the children.

A father can get custody of the children if it can be demonstrated that that is in the best interest of the child. The father being the primary caregiver would help.
If she has custody of the kids. Legal custody.
yes
Depends on the circumstances. If you are a single father, without court orders, the mother still has sole custody and control. If married, you have possession, however if you file for child support, you have a presumption of custody.
If he has custody of the children he may be petitioning the court for a child support order against the mother.If he has custody of the children he may be petitioning the court for a child support order against the mother.If he has custody of the children he may be petitioning the court for a child support order against the mother.If he has custody of the children he may be petitioning the court for a child support order against the mother.
