A mother who has sole custody of a child may leave the state with the child. If the mother shares custody, she has to have consent for the other parent or the court before leaving the state with the child.
Research the child support laws for both states and find which state offers WHAT IS IN THE BEST INTEREST FOR THE CHILD. but remember if you go to the other state to sue for child support everytime you have to appear in court you will have to travel to that state.
If she abandons the child, yes.
Doubtful. The child support is for the welfare of the child, not the mother. Check with your state child support office for specifics of the law in your state.

If the mother has legal custody but leaves the state and doesn't have physical custody of your child then that must mean the child is with someone who doesn't have custody. I assume you are not married. In that case, you must establish your paternity in court and request legal and physical custody. If the mother has left the state without taking her child with her the court will certainly want to know who the child is with and will certainly consider awarding legal custody to the other biological parent, you.Perhaps you can convince the mother to consent to your getting legal and physical custody. If not sole custody, then joint legal and physical custody.You should consult with an attorneywho specializes in custody issues. The attorney can review your situation and explain your rights and options.
DO NOT ever pay child support to the mother or the child. Pay it through the courts or the State Disbursement Unit.
The State of Texas child enforcement agency would have it. Sometimes it takes a couple weeks to get to the mother. The state would still have it if they haven't given it to the mother.
No, but they frequently do to create multiple claims.
Once a child is in state custody I don't think the mother has a say in who adopts the child. However, you may be allowed to meet the adoptive parents.
It depends on the state you live in and the age of the child.
