Why does the mother get child support when the father has the child more?

Perhaps there are details that could provide an answer. Perhaps the father is unemployed and caring for the children while the mother works. Depending on the details, the father needs to take the issue to court if he wants to modify custody or child support. The current child support order must be followed until there is a modification. The court doesn't know about the situation until it is informed by the parties.
So when you ask why the answer is probably because the father hasn't tried to do anything about the situation.

Can a father work and collect welfare on a child he has shared custody and mom pay child support?
Yes, if the father has more time with the child than the mother, she will owe him child support.
Does the mother always win when she takes the father to court to get more child support?
No, not at all.
The father has sole custody but wants to give custody back to the mother of a very unruly child who wants to live with his mother anyway How can he do this without her come after him for child support?
The only way would be to do a personal agreement between the mother & father, ideally having it filed with the court. However, at any time, either parent can utilize Child Support without the other parent's consent. If the Mother spends more time with the child than the Father, she is most likely entitled to child support.
If the mother deprive the father the right to see his child and he pays child support what are will the courts do for legal relief for him?
If the father has visitation rights and the mother refuses to allow the father those rights, then the father can sue the mother in a civil contempt proceeding. If she doesn't have a good reason for disallowing the visitation then she can be held in contempt of court. There are various remedies including giving the father more visitation to make up for the visitation that was disallowed by the mother or even giving the father custody, but usually, the judge will just order the mother to allow the visits. His paying or not paying child support has nothing to do with whether or not he gets visitation (i.e. he gets visitation regardless of whether or not he is current with child support).
If the mother lied about her income and property would she stop getting child support?
The more likely outcome is that the father would use this as the basis for a request to modify support.
Can the mother summit false statement in child support to get more money from the father of the kids and the father knows and what should he do?
The father should return to the venue that issued the order for support, with proof of his income, and ask for a modification.SEE LINK BELOW
Can a father who was not married to mother of his child have his 401K taken out for arrears in California?
Maybe, but it is more likely that the person will have his wages garnished or bank account levied until the arrearages are paid. The issue of whether or not the father was married to the mother of the minor child is not relevant when it relates to child support obligations.
Does the father have to pay child support payments if the mother dies and the child does not want to live with the father?
It depends upon where you live. you need to do a little research yourself or at least give us more info to go on.
If a parent leaves a child with their parents for more than a year and keep receiving child support from the father?
Yes, however they can file their own claim against the mother, and ask that the amount paid by the father come directly to them.
Who gets more child support first child's mother or second child's mother?
No one gets "more"; it's based on income. The first child's mother is no more special & does not deserve any more than the second.
If you are receiving child support for your daughter from her father and he has another child and the mother of that child files for child support also is your daughter child support affected by that?
Yes since there is only so much money that can be taken for child support regardless of the number of children. The limit is 25% of a persons wage can be taken for child support. The courts can not take more then 25% of a persons income even if there are a hundred children.
