The only proper advice where children are concerned is to seek legal advice from a lawyer. Don't risk taking wrong advice from a well meaning anonymous person over such a serious matter.

Does a father in Pennsylvania who is on disability have to pay child support?

SSA payments paid on a child's behalf, based on the child support obligor's SSA account, count as child support for the month that they are paid. E.g., support obligation is $100 for November 2009, SSA pays $200 on child's behalf, obligor owes nothing in addition. (BTW, the excess cannot be "carried over" to meet the support obligation for a different month.)

No. A person without legal custody cannot sue the parent for child support.

If there was no agreement to pay then the caregiver has the option to stop providing free childcare but they cannot create a financial obligation where there was none agreed upon in the first place.
