my rights

[denape]

I am 18 years old and my mom and dad were never married. DNA tests were done when I was born because my father was being a jerk. The tests proved 99.74% that this man was my father, but my mom chose not to sue for child support. At this point, do I have any rights to force him to pay for all the years of no support and to have his name put on my birth certificate--right now it says "unknown".

You have no rights to sue at all, only your mother does. She was owed support, not you. If she chose never to file that is her choice and now that you are 18 it is probably too late for her to do anything.
