It varies.
A custodial parent may have to pay child support if his income is significantly higher than that of the non-custodial parent based on the non-custodial parent's "parenting time" percentage.

No. (The answer is the same whether the father is the obligor/non-custodial parent or obligee/custodial parent.)
The situation regarding child support MUST be revisited if the circumstances of the custodial parent change.

Child support is the non-custodial parent's portion of the expenses of the child, including housing, food, clothing and so on. It is up to the custodial parent whether an "allowance" can be paid to the child from the child support amount.
yes
The custodial parent is the parent with custody/guardianship of the child.

Once paternity is established, the non-custodial parent has the right to request visitation, just as the custodial parent has the right to request support.
No. Only the custodial parent get child support and not returning the child is kidnapping.
