What if non custodial parent does not bring kids home when asked to by custodial parent?
That will cause problems for everyone. The non-custodial parent must follow the visitation order unless the child is in danger or being neglected or there is some other serious reason they do not want to return home. If that is the case then the non-custodial parent must seek a change in custody and request a temporary change immediately so the situation can be examined by the court.
If none of that applies it is up to the parent to diffuse the situation and explain to the child that they must return home. Making plans for the next visit is a good way to get the child to cooperate. The non-custodial parent should not encourage that type of behavior nor feed into it by criticizing the custodial parent or encouraging the child to want to stay.

Nursery school or daycare provides a child with the opportunity to get used to adults other than the child's parents telling them what to do, as well as allowing them to get used to playing with other children their own age. Basically it prepares them for what to expect when it's time to head off to school, which they will have to do unless you intend to home school them until college.
He same if you did it instead. Most states are no fault.
Can earned income be taken from the spouse that does not owe child support?
No. Only biological parents are responsible for the financial support of their minor children.
Please keep in mind, even though a non-obligatory spouse cannot be held directly responsible for child support obligations, in most instances joint bank accounts can be levied or joint property can be encumbered by a lien if there are support arrearages.
That being the case, the non-obligatory spouse would likely be affected by such a judgment.
Probably - it depends on the language of the divorce decree. Spousal support is generally intended to be temporary.

Can a Jehovah witness financially support a grown disfellowshipped child?
Yes, disfellowshiping does not effect the parental obligation to support and care for family members. If a child is, for whatever reason, financially dependent on his or her parents (for example due to a physical or emotional handicap) or is unable to support himself, his standing in the congregation would not necessarily mean he would forgoe financial aid from his parents.
Since there is no religious mandate on this matter, the decision to support grown children or not would therefore be a personal decision.
Giving up legal rights to your child means what?
That you have no right to see your child. Child Support is a separate issues. see links
