    Since the court order states (in most cases) that the obligor is your dad, and the obligee is your mother, and it is written and ordered in your best interest... then your mother would have to be the one to pursue any unpaid child support. She needs to do this soon because most states would require that there be court action filed within two years of you turning 18, or the support obligation ending.
