I'm not familiar with "child maintenance." Sometimes courts order "spousal maintenance" (often for a limited time), but that is an entirely different matter from child support.

Yes, but not without a court order, even if a voluntary one. Some states are changing the terms to child support to child maintenance to lessen the negative view of spousal maintenance.

Yes, you have to pay, being in debt doesn't have anything to do with your obligation for child support. If you don't pay, then it will probably be garnished from your work check.

Can your home be taken away if you owe child support?

You will need to check with a lawyer in your jurisdiction, as the nature of failure to pay child support debt varies from state to state. At the very least, I suspect that you can have a lien placed against your property/home for the amount of back child support (i.e. liens indicate debt owed when the property is sold). I would find it very unlikely that a child support debt would allow for forced sale of a primary residence, though I could easily see that forced sale of "investment" property to satisfy a child support debt could be possible. Once again, please consult and actual Family Law attorney.
