Usually yes, but the amount will be based on factors such as your income, the other parent's income, etc. Try citizens advice bureau (if you're based in the UK) or equivalent for specific advice. In the US custody and child support are different issues, one has no bearing on the other. If there is a child support order in place the terms should be adhered to until/unless the support order is rescinded or amended. The paying parent should never arbitrarily cease paying the required amount on the specified date. Such action can result in contempt of a court order, nonsupport of minor children charges and so forth which may result in the non compliant parent being jailed.
That person could not want to see the child or the other parent is not allowing it or the law/government disallows it.

In every state a parent is required to pay to support their child, and they cannot dodge that by saying they don't want to see the kid. I would file for custody and get it in writing that the other parent is not requesting visitation, then file for support.
In most cases the parent who has the child doesn't have to pay child support. The parent who does not have the child pays child support if they want visitation rights. In most jurisdictions, the non custodial parent must pay child support even without visitation rights.
The State can file to recover assistance provided on the child's behalf.
In most cases, a man is legally required to pay child support even if he does not want the child. This is because child support is considered the right of the child, not the parent's choice. The court will typically determine the amount of child support based on the child's needs and the parent's financial situation.
Probably - the support is owed to the obligee (i.e., other parent and/or State), not to the children.
Simple answer? No. You made that child, you support that child, whether you want anything to do with him/her or not.
No, the custodial parent can waive it but if she needs benefits from the state the other parent has to pay child support since it's parents obligation to support their child. If she waives it and needs it later on the case can be opened again. However, you should be aware that a judge may not allow the waiver since the child is entitled to the support of both parents. If the custodial parent doesn't need the money then it should be placed in an account for the child to use for college expenses.
Because that child still needs support and the birth parent is the one who should pay it.
no
Not on taxes no. The parent the child lives with has the main right to claim the child. But if that parent can't or doesn't want to then the other parent can
