no tax if that is the only gift of that calendar year
On the child's Form 1040, 1040A, or 1040EZ. A separate tax return must be filed by the child (or for the child if the child is too young). A parent cannot report a child's W-2 income on the parent's tax return. The only time a parent can report a child's income on the parent's return is if the kiddie tax applies and the child's only source of income is interest and dividends.

First it's 12,000. Second, per parent - (2 parents = 24K yr) Per child - as many as you've got.
Is this a trick question? If the child is legally an adult (and therefore 'emancipated') then there is no "custodial" parent.
No, the child can not. The other parent could before the child was an adult. The money goes to the parent to use for the child and not directly to the child.
Most states do not allow a child to collect back support as an adult. Although the right to child support belongs to the child, support is payable to the custodial parent to assist in the care and upbringing of that child. If the custodial parent did not receive that support, then she (or he) made contributions that should have come from the other parent, and the right to collect the back support belongs to her.
extremely unlikely
No. The custodial parent is/was the obligor, not the child.
No, they are not.
Only if you prove to be an "unfit" or bad parent. The parent that is an adult has not more rights to the child because they are an adult and you are not.
Only if the parent is the legal guardian of the child's person. If the child is a danger to herself or others, the parent can petition the courts for involuntary commitment.
No, the filing period ended at age 18 for the parent, and age 19 for the adult child.
No, child support is not paid to the child but to the parent raising the child.
