Yes. Either parent is free to file for a modification of an existing child support order at any time, however either would be expected to provide compelling evidence why support should be raised/lowered. Each state defines what constitutes a significant change in circumstances allowing it.
No. A state's child support enforcement agency only has the power to enforce an existing support order, they cannot increase the amount or change the payment arrangements. The custodial parent will need to file suit against the obligated parent for any changes in the existing support order. State social service agencies can sometimes assist in this matter if the petitioner qualifies.
Once paternity is established, the non-custodial parent has the right to request visitation, just as the custodial parent has the right to request support.
It can be modified, but not stopped.
It seems unlikely that a non-custodial relative would have "standing" to request a change in child support.
If the custodial parent agreed to deviate from the original child support amount, she can increase it back to the original amount if there is a court order. In additional, the non-custodial parent may have to pay back child support for the time when he paid less.
Yes. The court will set a child support order using state guidelines and the obligor will need to pay over some amount from the unemployment earnings. When the obligor gains new employment the child support order will be in place and the custodial parent can return to court and request a modification to reflect the obligor's increase in earnings.Yes.

There is no specific rule that guarantees an increase in the amount the custodial parent receives if the child has autism. Child support amounts are determined based on various factors, including the income of both parents and the child's needs. However, if the custodial parent can demonstrate that the child's autism-related expenses are substantial and necessary, it may be possible to request a modification of the child support order.
In general, support is a percentage of the obligor's net income and is not affected by the custodial parent's income. A custodial parent who petitions for an increase in support would presumably have to explain to the court why s/he quit working.
Yes.
No. (The answer is the same whether the father is the obligor/non-custodial parent or obligee/custodial parent.)
Child support will not increase automatically because of a change of financial status on the part of the obligated parent. The custodial parent would be required to file a petition for an increase in support based upon the present circumstances. The court decides if additional support is warranted and if so, the amount.
