The parent that pays child support does not need to pay child support for her child`s kids, only the current right parent.
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.
yes
Regardless of whether a parent pays support or not - the custody agreement determines who has rights. So if your child's father did not pay support but wants to see the child, and he has joint custody, he has every right, by law. This may not be morally right but it is legally right.
Only if the owed parent is deceased
In the US, at least, child support is regarded as a right of the child, not the parent. So yes... a child, even an illegitimate one, has a right to the financial support of the parents, and the mother can bring a suit on the behalf of the child.
Sole custody is when only 1 parent has the right to choose where their child goes to school, which doctor they see, and what religion they partake in. Child support is the money that the non-custodial parent will pay to help support the child.
That issue is affected by state laws and court orders and separation agreements. You need to find the answer before claiming the child. In some states the working custodial parent has the right to claim the child as a dependent regardless if the non-custodial parent pays child support in recognition that the parent with custody generally spends more time and money on caring for the child.
In most cases, a man is legally required to pay child support even if he does not want the child. This is because child support is considered the right of the child, not the parent's choice. The court will typically determine the amount of child support based on the child's needs and the parent's financial situation.
No, not unless they are specifically addressed in the child support order. The obligor does not have the right to designate where child support payments will go. They are to be paid to the custodial parent. Any other payments will be viewed as voluntary or gifts.No, not unless they are specifically addressed in the child support order.

This may depend on the laws where you live. It's quite common for an order for child support to be put in place regardless of whether the non-custodial (or paying) parent is present or not. Child support is the right of the child.
