I actually pay child support to my son's father (all for the sake of a better schooling system) and my tax refund is always taken, as a matter of fact, anything in the form of payment with my social security number is taken to pay back child support. I always receive a letter from the dept. of taxation titled: offsset, but it's always all taken. I once won $1500 on a lottery scratch off and that was intercepted by child support! I have other children, not the same father as my son and I live in low income housing and I am always behind in payments, plus the arrears. I am told the only way to break this cycle of what I call "Voluntary Poverty" is to die or claim bankruptcy...and I don't know which is actually more helpful.
The amount will depend on how much child support you owe and how much refund you are getting. They can keep the entire refund if necessary.
Not unless you overpaid. I'm curious to know why you think you should.
Hopefully, yes. Child Support Enforcement Agencies in the United States have wide reaching powers to assist in collecting child support. They can take your tax refund, garnish your wages, suspend your license and put you in jail for not paying. You should have checked before you brought a child into the world.
No, the state will take it for back child support. If you are not behind in your support payments, you might get the refund.

Paying child support will not cause the father to lose his parental rights - neither will not paying child support.
State child support agencies may intercept tax refunds to collect past-due child support.
The father has to have the court's consent to cease paying child support.
No, giving up your parental rights and paying child support are two separate issues. You will still have to support your child.
