Yes. The non-custodial parent pay child support to the custodial parent regardless whether he is with her every night or not. The money is for providing for the child so as long as he does that you have to. Keeping the money is not helping the child. If you wish to change custody or child support, you have to go back to court. A 16yo is after all old enough to stay home by herself and most 16yo looks forward to get their parents out of the house. It's a part of growing up.

Yes. Child support and visitation are two separate issues and parent are not required to pay to see their children. However, you have the right and responsibility to pursue the child support issue.
