If it is a joint account yes.
yes
You must file for a child support lien through the court that issued the child support order.
Assuming that the "monies from the past" were used to support the child: yes, with the court's agreement.
Absolutely! Family Court protects the welfare of the child.
No, child support is for the child/children and is not subject to creditor attachment. If the support payments are deposited in a checking account that has other monies, the receiving debtor parent must show proof to the court that the support funds are exempt from garnishment.

If you owe money to the bank they are entitled to withdraw it from any monies deposited into your account.
If your talking child support of any kind, then that is a no no. You are not supposed to use that money for anything other then the child. If your talking alimony, then you should be splitting the bill 50/50 for balance from the past and not accrue any new monies. Close the account as so far as not being able to charge on it, and get your own account.
A single creditor garnishment can usually be allowed to run consecutively with a child support garnishment with the child support monies being given priority.
The family with whom the minor child is living would be required to file suit against the parent currently receiving the child support monies if they wish to be reimbursed for expenses related to the minor child. The child support monies do not automatically revert to the person(s) with whom the minor child is residing. The current support order will stay in effect and all terms must be adhered to until the order is amended or rescinded. The parent receiving the child support monies has the legal obligation to inform the court of the minor child's change of residence. If the custodial parent objects to the minor's living arrangements the court may order the minor to return to the parental home.
It varies with the type of debt. There is no statute on collecting past-due child support.
If the account is joint it can be levied to the extent of funds that belong to the non compliant parent. The joint holder would have to provide proof to the court of the percentage of funds belonging to them to prevent said funds from being levied. The best solution if for the spouse who is not obligated for support to have an account in their name only and hold only funds belonging to them in this account. Never attempt to deposit funds of the non compliant parent into an account held by someone else in order to avoid a levy for child support. Likewise never attempt to transfer property owned by the non compliant parent to avoid attachment for child support arrearages.
