First, you cannot file in a new state unless you meet jurisdictional requirements, however the state where the other parent resides has jurisdiction on child support.
He may be. It will be determined by a court if he decides to take it up with the state. If you have custody, was there a stipulation regarding child support? If there was a divorce agreement it may state the stipulations regarding support and custody. If the custodial parent is giving up physical custody of the child to the previously non-custodial parent then child support may be changed.
TANF eligibility is based on physical custody, not legal custody.
Because you are not married and filed for child support. You have to pay child support to one parent and that has to be to the one with custody. If you both had 50/50 custody it could look differently but you only have visitation.
Certainly some evidence of responsibility (ie paying child support, job, time spent with the child) would help your case. Joint custody, however, is not just for the purpose of reducing child support; infact the child support you pay is nowhere near what it costs to raise a child. Consider the ramifications of your sharing custody--what is in the best interests of the child??
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.
How does he have any visitation rights with a custody and child support order?
Child support is not paid to the child. It would be payable to the person who currently has legal custody of the child or to the State if the State has custody.
Yes! You need to either have custody or legal guardianship to receive child support, AND have the legal documentatio to prove it.
You sue the person for child support. Just because you pay child support for one child does not mean you can not receive child support for the one you have custody of.
If you have custody of a child from another relationship then you can request a child support order from the court for that child. Your situation displays some irony.

If the custody order is done through a court of law, the sister will receive (and needs) child support.
In general, the parent or guardian with the most parenting time is eligible to receive child support from the non-custodial parent. You do not need to be the child's biological parent to receive child support.
It depends on the type of joint custody. Custody is broken down into two subcategories- legal and physical. Legal custody is the ability to make decisions concerning the child and to act on the child's behalf. Physical custody is who the child lives with. Typically unless the child spends exactly 50 percent of the time with each parent, one parent is considered to have primary custody and the other parent to have secondary custody or visitation rights. Child support is based on who has primary physical custody, and that parent is typically awarded child support from the parent who has the child less since having the child more usually means that you provide for more of their needs as well.
The persons in custody of the child must file for legal guardianship and request the court modify the child support order. The person needs legal standing to receive child support.
Your question could be read in different ways. Child support is intended only for the support of children and their needs. If the children are in the custody of (living with and being supported by) someone who is not the parent on a regular basis, that person must petition the court to be appointed the legal guardian and then petition for a child support order against the parents. If you are the parent then you must have custody in order to get child support. If your children are in the custody of someone else, such as the example provided above, you cannot receive child support.
Child support is paid until the child is 18yo.
