When a custodial parent dies is child support from a non custodial parent still due?
Of course. Unless the non-custodial parent takes sole custody, the non-custodial parent is still responsible for paying child support to whomever the child goes to. There is no reason the death of a parent should terminate the other parent's child support obligation.

How can you prevent the non-custodial parent from collecting the child's social security survivor benefites if the custodial parent dies?
To be sure I understand your question, let's say, for example, you have custody of your child, and you want to know if you die can you keep your ex from receiving Social Security suvivor benefits. Do I understand it right? If so, then NO, you cannot prevent the child's other parent from receiving SS benefits. If you have custody, I assume the other parent is paying child support. If not, you need to taket him or her to court and sue for it. If s/he is paying child support, then that's good. If you are concerend that if you die the other parent would squander the money at the expense of your child (neglect, etc.) then you need to talk to an attorney to see what can be done. But this will be a tough one since it is customary for the surviving parent to receive SS benefits for the minor child if the custodial parent dies.
What happens to the estate of a child that dies in a motorcycle accident and the parents are divorced and one of the parents is 9000.00 in arears on the child support and hasn't seen them in 4 yrs?
Both parents have a cause of action with respect to the child's wrongful death. Each parent is an heir of the child, in equal shares, absent a Will. hm im not 2 sure whys that Why? Because the divorce of a child's parents is not a divorce of a child from a parent. In other words, it does not terminate the parent-child relationship between the child and either parent.
