Yes, it is the responsibility of both parents to support their child/children. In a few states the amount of income that both parents make will be taken into consideration in deciding the amount to be paid. In most, only the parent's income/assets who will be paying the support is considered. Therefore the custodial parent could be independently wealthy and support for the children would still be ordered by the court.

In most states, no, child support cannot be directly garnished from a spouse's income. However, most states can take money from joint finances, such as a joint bank account or joint tax return.

If a man cannot pay child support can the ex-wife go after his mother or other family member for the money?

The Child Support Agency sends a form to the mother asking for details about the child's father, it is compulsory for the mother to give these details. It is also compulsory for the father to pay to support their child, I am not sure if there is a way around it. I am quite sure they don't ask any other relatives.

Can the mother of a child file for child support after the child has turned 18 and both parents went to court and the mother agreeded to dismiss the charges already?

If you agreed to dismiss a claim for child support arrears you cannot file a new case regarding those same arrearages. If you agreed to forego child support prior to the child reaching 18 then it is too late to go back now.
