The state does not pay child support. However if you require public assistance the state will automatically go after child support, and even if you do not require public assistance you can file for help with the Office of Child Support and often their services are free. The father may not pay voluntarily but a court action will require him to.

If the father of a child gets married and owes back child support can the spouse be obligated to pay his back child support in CA?

An unmarried father cannot "choose" to not pay child support. The laws in every state require that a father pay for the support of his child. The mother must bring an action to the appropriate court so that a child support order can be established. Visitation rights are separate and a father can have visitation rights established by the court. Visitation rights are not dependent on paying child support.
