Can a parent paying child support file child on taxes?
Paying Child Support has nothing to do with any right to claim the child on their return. A divorce agreement or custody agreement usually deals with rights to claim a child on a tax return. If there is no such agreement deciding who get to claim the child then the IRS rules do. Usually the first right is the custodial parent (the person the child lives with). Residency is one of the requirements to claim a dependent.

You and the child's mother have to agree who is taking the child deduction (usually the parent with custody), so the child support is probably not deductible.

If you have a woman and a child living in a house that you dont live in but own and pay all of the bills can you claim the child as a dependent if no one else claims him?
According to IRS rules, only the person who physically supported the child for more than 50% of the year can claim the child as a dependent. Financial support does not count. If the child lived with you for at least 183 out of 365 days during the tax year, you can claim him/her as a dependent. If the child stayed with you less than that, you cannot.
Can you claim a child as a dependent even if that child files her own taxes?
If your child files a joint return with her spouse, you cannot claim her (unless neither spouse owes any taxes and the only reason for filing is to claim a refund). If your child files any other kind of return, it makes no difference in whether you can claim her. Of course, you have to meet all of the usual requirements for claiming a dependent.
