The State can enforce an existing order. If there is no order, the State can issue one or ask the courts to do so. However, you have a right to contest either action.

How can a father avoid paying child support if the grandmother gets custody?
My answer to that would be 'No'. The father is responsible for providing child-support regardless of who has custody of the child; at least until the age of 18.

No, as that is a separate commission from Welfare.
Who has custody when both of the parents names are on the birth certificate?
Generally, if the parents are unmarried the mother has sole custody and control in most states until the father can establish his paternity. Once paternity is established in court, the father can request visitations or custody through the court. If the mother retains physical custody she can request that the court issue a child support order. If the father gets physical custody he can request a child support order.
Will you still get child support payment if the father is on welfare?
Child support is calculated based on income of the father (or mother in such a case). If the father is unemployed his child support will still be calculated based on whatever minimum wage is in your state. The only time this does not apply is when the father is on disability. Welfare shouldn't matter.

Yes, if the father has more time with the child than the mother, she will owe him child support.
Can a father get custody after 14 years just because I file for child support?
Filing for child support has no bearing on the issue of custody. Custody is decided on the basis of the welfare of the child. To get custody of a child, the father would have to demonstrate that he would do a better job as parent. I will add that even if you do need financial assistance, that does not in any way suggest that you are not a good mother. Those are separate issues.
If mom is on welfare with no job can dad get full custody?
If the mother has interrupted her career more than the father for her children, surely she has the better argument for custody? Custody should depend on how the children are treated, not on how hard the mother found it/finds it to get a job. The father would probably have to work less when they have custody of the children anyway.
