The state will not pay child support. The state may grant TANF and/or medical assistance to the child/custodial parent if they are indigent. If so, or at the CP's request, the state will attempt to collect the past-due support.
Yes, if the father is not given custody he will be obligated to keep paying support to whomever the court awards custody or guardianship of the children.
He was sent to prison
If the father goes to prison his responsibility for child support does not stop. For all practical purposes, he will have no income and will not be able to pay you one cent. Do not expect to get any money out of him while his is in prison.
You can file for divorce without his approval. The lawyer will serve your spouse with the papers in prison and usually anyone in prison will grant the divorce. If he should refuse the law is basically on your side, but if you have children other provisions may have to be made because he is the father of those children and the courts would have to decide that.

No, ones in prison are not obligated to pay or accrue arrears. A Canadian mother tried to get arrears on the father of her children who was recently released from a California Prison after ten years when it was learned she coerced them into making the allegations. Her claim was denied specifically on the grounds stated above.
That is dependent on the circumstances.
Only Welfare
Florida State Prison was created in 1961.
No single father does until granted them by a court.
This depends on if the father has an income while he is incarcerated,such as income from a business that the father owns and that is still able to operate without him while he is in prison or if the father is eligible for a work release program from the prison or if the father is eligible for an inmate job in the prison.. If the father is incarcerated and is not eligible for any such programs and has no other means of income then the child support will continue to be added to his unpaid balance and will be waiting for him to begin paying when he is released..
I'd Say Yes But I'm Not Absolutely Sure About It
Yes, if there was a court order in place requiring support and it was not suspended/terminated during the father's incarceration.
