The state sets the rates for child support. If he has paid up and is not in arrears, then the money is his to spend.
If the custodial parent agreed to deviate from the original child support amount, she can increase it back to the original amount if there is a court order. In additional, the non-custodial parent may have to pay back child support for the time when he paid less.
No. (The answer is the same whether the father is the obligor/non-custodial parent or obligee/custodial parent.)
The custodial parent is the parent with custody/guardianship of the child.
Can the custodial parent ask for child support for her children past the age of 18 if the children are full time college students?

Child support will not increase automatically because of a change of financial status on the part of the obligated parent. The custodial parent would be required to file a petition for an increase in support based upon the present circumstances. The court decides if additional support is warranted and if so, the amount.
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.
Yes. Child support is for the "custodial parent". If you are not living at home with your custodial parent, then they are no longer eligible to receive child support. However, the non-custodial parent can request a modification if the child is no longer living with the custodial parent and that includes a change of custody. A 17 yr old is not emancipated in Texas, unless proper procedures through the courts have taken place. If that is the case, then the custodial parent and child are no longer eligible for child support.
