Generally, yes, if you have full physical custody. It's normal for things to happen that way... the custodial parent receives child support payments from the non-custodial parent in order to help pay for the child's, well, support... but really it all depends on what the court decree says, and there might potentially be cases in which the court rules otherwise.

Can a parent that is behind in child support get joint custody of a child whos mother already has full legal custody?

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??

If your husband dies will his young child who he has full custody of be sent back to his mother or be allowed to stay with you the stepmother?

Having full legal or physical custody. If it is full legal custody the mother has given up any legal claim to the child. If it is full physical custody with joint legal custody the child will be in the legal custody parents home. She may elect to give the child up to be adopted by the stepmother. In many states (and maybe in all states) if the custodial parent dies, then the non-custodial parent gains custody, provided that that his/her parental rights have not been terminated (and just because he/she did not have legal custody does not mean that his/her parental rights were terminated). Of course, in that event the stepparent can still petition the court for custody. Check with a local attorney.

You now have full custody of your child and receive no support. How do you get your garnished tax return for back child support applied to what the mother owes?

You can't. If there has been a change in the custody order you are still responsible for any arrears incurred while the other parent had legal custody. Your garnishment will not be returned to you since it was imposed for money you owed. You owe those arrears until they are paid in full regardless of the change in custody.
