Where is your mom? She is the one who would be due child support, if anybody, with few exceptions.

 

[NotSoNew]

no! you cant sue him for anything.

By "real dad", do you mean your biological father? Was he even established as your LEGAL father? A bioparent doesn't always have a legal obligation for support. They must be legally established as the parent, not have terminated or relinguished legal rights, etc, AND a n order of support must have been established. . Example: my daughter's bioparents are NOT her legal parents, therefore her bioparents have NO legal obligation to her at all. Other examples: a child "born of a marriage" is the LEGAL child of the husband UNLESS parenity is DISestablished.

The legality of the "real dad's" paternity makes no difference. The OP can't sue him for child support.

Not if the OP will not give ALL of the facts.

I don't know about Michigan, but here are a few states that do allow either the MOTHER and/or the CHILD to sue for support after the child reaches 18 and beyond.

All states allow a child to sue under certain circumstances....now what would they be?

You are such a tease

And, if he's on SSI (especiallyv if has been for a long time), he has limited money from which to collect anyway.

OOH! OOH! I can think of several but they all involve at least one person having a terminal life experience

So far, nothing that the OP has mentioned meets the necessary criteria.

You got that right.
Here we all go running and the OP hasn't even fired the gun yet. S/he is still at "on your marks".

Is that all you guys do? Throw words of advice out there (it seems as though it is good advice) and then you turn around and start talking crap?
