No, but he can be fined and jailed.
No, you don't have the money and may never get it. It would be like me saying I will give you a million dollars. Do you have the money? No. Will you get the money? No. You can only count what you have.
Only if arrears exist, or it addresses loss of income.
That depends on whether an order was in place. If so, there is no statute of limitations on collecting unpaid child support. If the agency is just now preparing to ask for an order, the retroactive support is based on a percentage of his net income during the retroactive period - i.e., in this case, virtually nothing. Also, it's very unusual to order retroactive support for 13 years.
No, not as long as the father has his own income then all support and arrears are his responsibility. However, if there is a order to withhold tax refunds and you file a joint return they may garnish your potentional funds.

This depends on if the father has an income while he is incarcerated,such as income from a business that the father owns and that is still able to operate without him while he is in prison or if the father is eligible for a work release program from the prison or if the father is eligible for an inmate job in the prison.. If the father is incarcerated and is not eligible for any such programs and has no other means of income then the child support will continue to be added to his unpaid balance and will be waiting for him to begin paying when he is released..
No you are not supposed to claim if you are in arrears.
No, in fact you have to be caught up on child support in order to file for bankruptcy. Your lawyer may have a way around that but you will still owe the money. You shouldn't look at child support as a bill but rather a way of supporting your child. Why are you in arrears? If you were hit with a multi year retroactive order on a child you didn't know existed, or there was a clearly valid reason for not paying the full amount, than you may have grounds for a retroactive reduction, according to Judge David Grey Ross, Commissioner of the Federal Office of Child Support Enforcement. see links below You do not have to be "caught up" on child support in order to file for bankruptcy; however, child support is not discharged in bankruptcy.
