Yes, you must always adhere to the terms of the court order for child support regardless of the situation that arises.
If the obligated parent wishes to amend the terms of the order he or she must follow the required court procedure.
Never, ever arbitrarily cease paying child support when you are under the order of the court.
Yes, unless you can get a court to say otherwise. Child support is to pay for your child. If your child is alive and in the custody of your partner, they get the money they need for your portion of the child's needs. They will still need clothes, and other expenses while in treatment.
They would file for termination of child support at the agency in charge of collection and disbursement of support payments in the area where they live.
Both parents are. The parent who does not have residential custody usually pay child support to the one who has residential custody to be used to pay for the child. Both have to pay for their child.
If the father is paying child support, the child shouldn't be in a ward. I would highly doubt it though.

Yes, until you petition the court to modify the standing order.
Generally no, though there is a presumption of primary residential custody for the obligee parent. In states like California, the amount of time the obligor parent has the child affects the amount of child support ordered.ClarificationChild support orders and custody orders are separate. Generally, the parent who pays child support pays it to the custodial parent.
Legally speaking, yes, they certainly can. (This assumes the child is not emancipated and is legally in the custody of the parent.) In practice, it may be difficult.
Only arrears. Child Support payments should be adjusted to match what amount already being paid the residential parent by SSD, which is not deducted from the main payment.
yes It's possible but unlikely because, in general, child support is based on the obligor's net income. In some countries like Australia, parental child support is based on a percentage of the non residential parent's net income. This amount is regardless of what the residential parent earns. The governmental child assistance amount changes according to the residential parent's income. (In the case of Aus, RESIDENCY means whichever parent had the child living with them at the time. CUSTODY means whichever parents has the responsibility for decisionson the child's life. Generally this means both parents unless neglect, violence etc is involved)

If they are an adult child (over 18) you really have no leverage to force them into treatment other than your parental persuasion. If they are an un-emancipated minor, commit them to a treatment facility or hospital. If you need assistance with finances or information, contact your local Dept. of Social Services for information.
