No. If there's a court order against the father, which resulted in any kind of arrears, the father is still responsible for it. Arrears are paid and there's no statute of limitations on it, as well as, any support and/or custody modifications.

You now have full custody of your child and receive no support. How do you get your garnished tax return for back child support applied to what the mother owes?

You can't. If there has been a change in the custody order you are still responsible for any arrears incurred while the other parent had legal custody. Your garnishment will not be returned to you since it was imposed for money you owed. You owe those arrears until they are paid in full regardless of the change in custody.

If a father was receiving child support in Texas and the child chooses to live with the other parent do you have to pay the other parent child support?

If the arrangement is with the consent of the custodial parent and will be permanent then the custody and child support orders must be modified to reflect the change in legal custody. The parent in Texas needs to have their custody formalized by a court order so they can enroll the child in school, consent to medical treatment, etc. If the child support order is not modified the non-custodial parent may be subject to the accumulation of child support arrears.
