Yes, but if the father have court ordered visitation and pay child support she will need his and the courts permission to move. The court orders still have to work.
Your situation is very complicated. You need to make an appointment with an attorney who specializes in custody issues, who can review all the details of your situation and explain your rights and options under the laws in your jurisdiction.
The child has a dual citizenship. Under the laws of my country, a child born of a Filipina mother in another country is a Filipino. At the age of 18, the child will have to choose which citixenship he/she would prefer.
A child doesn't come under the jurisdiction of the court unless there had been a divorce. If you were legally divorced you would need the court's permission to take the child out of state. If you are not under any court's jurisdiction at this time then you are free to move.
Your child can be covered under both your & the mother's insurance even if he/she doesn't live with you.
If a State has referred the case to the IRS and the check is issued to the obligor under his SSN, it will likely be intercepted and sent to the State that submitted the referral. That State will determine how much is due the custodial parent and how much is due the State.
No. The biological father may not have known he was the father. Also, he did not file a petition for child support against you- the child's mother did. If you had any doubts you were the father, and if the child's mother was sexually active with other men at the time of conception, you could have requested a paternity test at the onset. You should consult with an attorney who can review your situation and explain your options under your state laws. You may have an action against the child's mother.No. The biological father may not have known he was the father.

State laws vary but the Child Support Enforcement Division of the State Department of Social Services may be able to pursue child support from the paternal grandparents of the child as long as the father of the child is under eighteen. The mother should visit the local family court and ask to speak with an advocate.
The age of the parents has no bearing on child support. All the State cares about is who are the biological parents, who has custody, and how much money does each parent make. You get child support by filing a child support case with the Attorney General's office in your state.
That depends on the state where the custody order was issued and the order's provisions, but in general, joint custody implies that both parents have equal say in decisions affecting a child's life and either parent has the power to ok or deny a decision such as a move, especially a move that would prevent a hardship to another parent in terms of their parenting time with their child. In other states, any child under a custody order is under the custody of the state as well, so any proposed move not only must be ok with both parents, it also requires permission of the court. When in doubt, refer to the custody order, or at least provide the legal state (or country if outside the USA) of the child's current legal residence.
This is interpretive. Generally under the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction And Enforcement Act ("UCCJEA") they are suppose to, however this does not preclude other conditions. A mother can run to another state than claim a fear of domestic violence. This than invalidates any orders from another state under the Violence Against Women Act. Unfortunately, the states also have a history of not honoring father custody orders from other states or countries. The was a case of this in Clay County, Missouri. The father with an order from Texas had to kidnap his child and return the Texas.
I suggest that you contact your State's child support agency. When you get an interview with them, bring all the papers relating to your child support: birth certificates, acknowledgments of paternity, court orders, payment records, etc. Be polite but persistent. Good luck!
