No, the custodial parent can waive it but if she needs benefits from the state the other parent has to pay child support since it's parents obligation to support their child. If she waives it and needs it later on the case can be opened again.

However, you should be aware that a judge may not allow the waiver since the child is entitled to the support of both parents. If the custodial parent doesn't need the money then it should be placed in an account for the child to use for college expenses.

Does a non custodial parent still have to pay child support when the custodial parent is in jail?

Yes, unless the non-custodial parent gets custody. In that case the non-custodial parent must file a motion to terminate the child support order. The child support should be paid to whoever has custody of the child. If it's not the non-custodial parent then the child support order should be modified to reflect the party that should receive the child support payments. You have to pay for your child so you have to pay to the one who has custody while the other parent is in prison. If the state has custody you will pay the state.
