If someone else has your child pursuant to a court order then the answer is no.
Generally, if the parents are unmarried the mother has sole custody and control in most states until the father can establish his paternity. Remember, a child's mother can always be identified by medical records. Since the father didn't give birth and he was not legally married at the time of the birth he can establish his paternity through a DNA test. A paternity test can be arranged through the court. Once paternity is established in court, the father can request visitations or custody through the court. If the mother retains physical custody she can request that the court issue a child support order. If the father gets physical custody he can request a child support order.
Not if the parent have court order for custody or visitation unless the child is in danger of some kind and then you better have proof to show the court. To change the court order you need to go back to the court where it was issued to have it modified.
If by "back" you mean, past-due - yes.
If a court orders it.
Yes, but get a court order confirming this.
Get a lawyer, go to family court, get an order against them for child support. If you all ready have a court order go back to family court and social services and tell them he isn't paying.
No, usually support is only due when ordered by a court.
If the person paying child support goes to court about it, it's possible. However, it doesn't "just happen", nor is it legal for someone to stop paying child support without a new court order specifically stating so (unless the child reaches the age at which the court order says child support can stop; in that case it's not necessary to go back to court about it).
Not likely. The child is 17 and if there was a Court order, the Court found some reason to allow the child to leave. At 17, a child may instruct the Court as to where he/she wants to live and why. You should still have visitation rights, even if the child is out of state.
Your local family (civil) court is where you must file for child support arrears. If there is a child support order you must return to that court to file a contempt of court order.Your local family (civil) court is where you must file for child support arrears.

The police can bring the child back to his father since the court order says it is his weekend. The mother also have a responsibility to make sure the child is brought back and can not break the court order.
If the court approves.
Yes you can. She can not withhold court ordered visitation. If she does, she too is in violation a court order.
