You have to pay child support for any of your children that does not live with you. So if you have 3 kids that live with you and one kid that lives with your ex you would be responsible for paying child support for the one child that lives with your ex. However, you only have to pay, legally, when a court has ordered you to.
If your ex is paying child support for the three kids that live with you a court could order a reduction in child support that he/she has to pay to you instead of you having to pay child support to him/her.

Does the non-custodial parent have to pay child support while the child lives with him for 3 months of the year?
Well actually, it depends. A non-custodial parent can still have liberal, defined visitation and if that parent, say has 3 days a week or every weekend, and their income is vastly lower than the income of the custodial parent then there would be an avenue in many states where that 'non-custodial' parent would be entitled to child support. Again, it would vary on a number of factors including what you mean by non-custodial. If non-custodial includes no physical or legal custody and/or no visitation at all, the avenue seems virtually impossible. However, simply being non-custodial would not be the single defining point. In fact, there wouldn't be a single variable that would determine the answer to this question (particularly as state law were weighed in). Best advice, contact an attorney, many will provide free first consultations.
Can your son stay home alone with his mothers boyfriend?
If the boyfriend is suitable for being around kids and the mother approves, yes. When the child is with the custodial parent he/she decides what is best for the child in his/her home.
Can the custodial parent keep the child from the non custodial parent for non payment of child support?
This often happens when one ex is angry with the other and it's not about the children at all, but a control issue. Your ex wants to hurt you and the best way to do that is through the children. If he is not paying child support and you have records, then yes, you can go to court and win. He's blowing wind up his kilt if he thinks he can win this one! Go for it! Good luck Marcy Thanks for the reply and support Marcy. I would like to clarify, not that it is a big deal other than it may give support to others, that I'm a single father and have primary custody. My ex-wife is ordered to pay child support ($650/month) and she currently owes over $10,000. The money is not near as important to me as keeping primary custody of the kids. I would rather her not pay if it helps my case in court, in the event she tried to get primary custody. I have been told that she can�t even take me to court if she owes child support but that is not true. She can file for custodial rights. However the judge is going to want a very good explanation and proof of why she has defaulted on her support obligations. order. It is possible depending on circumstances, she can be held in contempt for non compliance to a court order. The possiblility of her receiving custody is not likely, unless the court receives substantial proof that the well-being of the child/children is in jeopardy.
Can you still get child support from the father even if you don't want to give him rights because he can be abusive?
You can appeal to a judge to order him to pay child support, but not see the kids because he is abusive. If you are awarded full custody, then you can do what you want. Child support, custody and visitation rights are akk different issues. A parent does not have the legal right to decide who retains custody of a child, if the non-custodial parent may have visitation rights, if child support should be awarded and what amount of support should be paid. Such issues are determined by a judge in accordance with the laws of the state where the child(ren) resides. Both biological parents are given the opportunity to present their case and submit supporting evidence pertaining to all the previously cited issues.
Can a hospital come after a non-custodial parent for expenses not covered by insurance if the custodial parent admitted the child to the hospital without consulting the non-custodial parent?
You share the parenthood of the child and so you also share expenses. It is not in any way practical for you to second guess treatments you will and will not pay for. The custodial parent has the decision making power, and even if you don't share their vision, it is best for the child not to get caught in the middle of a fight about expenses. Alternatively, you could put your child on your insurance, so there is a secondary source for payment. Kids are just expensive any way you go about it. For the future, you may cultivate a reasonable talking relationship with the other parent, who may consult you if they know they are not going to be caught in a confrontation in a time of emergency. If the hospital comes to you for the payment and you have already paid your required share, you may be forced to sue your ex to recover the money.

First, it is an Urban Myth that fathers go for custody to avoid paying child support. First, who would support the children while in his custody? Less then 15% of mothers are ordered to pay, and depending on circumstances, the custodial father is often still ordered to pay child support.

Does a non-custodial parent have to pay child support if all children live with them and not the custodial parent?
In Massachusetts: If there is a child support order (issued by the court) then the 'non-custodial' parent will have to pay child support to the 'custodial' parent until the child support order is modified by the court. Even if the kids actually live with the 'non-custodial' parent, that parent still has to follow the current court orders, no matter how unfair. If the kids are living with the non-custodial parent, though, it shouldn't be too difficult to go into court and get the child support order changed.

Can you get child support if you never filed when your kids father was locked up they are now 21 and 17?
If there was no child support order inforce before the children reached the age of majority then there can be no recovery of such. If a child is still under the legal age of majority for the state the custodial parent may be able to receive back support for a specified number of years and/or support until the child reaches legal age. In most states the legal age is 18. Please be advised, not all US states have a SOL for child support obligations. Even if the situation is one where the non custodial parent is incarcerated or otherwise absent the custodial parent should file for support of all minor children.
How can a custodial parent whose kids are over 18 years old get back child support dropped in Texas?
You may not be able to. If your children where under the age of 18 when the decree for support was created then the non-custodial parent is still responsible for that support. Only a few states back date, which means that if you had the decree written up when the child was 17 then the non-custodial parent would have to pay from the day that they left the house. States can garnish wages for back child support, and also garnish tax refunds to pay child support. If it was dropped due to the child moving out on their own at age 16, which is when a child can rent their own place in Texas, than it cannot be reengaged.
How much child support do pay with two kids?
Child support is based off both parents income. So it will vary, if two or more kids are involved the child support is not as much if you had just one. If you pay child support for kids with different mothers the oldest child will always receive more support than the younger kids. Also if you have more kids with a different mother and she files for child support, the other kids who already receive support will decrease.
