Yes, in Texas, child support can garnish wages from multiple jobs if you have an obligation to pay child support, regardless of your custody status. The amount deducted is based on your total income, which includes earnings from all jobs. Having custody of your children does not exempt you from your child support obligations; rather, it may affect the amount you owe, depending on your circumstances. It’s important to consult with a legal professional for advice tailored to your specific situation.
Yes, if the father is not given custody he will be obligated to keep paying support to whomever the court awards custody or guardianship of the children.

her choice
Usually when a couple gets divorced they also decide on custody of the children. If you waived your rights to your children then she is free to go where she wants and as far as she wants with the children. If you didn't agree to this and have partial custody she can't leave the State without your consent and if she did this could be considered "kidnapping" in some States. If neither of you bothered re custody of the children and you just saw them when you felt like it, then you can sue her right back and legally get custody of your children. I suggest you seek legal counsel. These are reasons a court may give full custody of the children to the wife: The father was abusive to the mother or children Alcohol/drug abusive Refusing to work Working, but not supporting the wife and children Refusing to pay child support Holding back money on child support Quitting work so as not to pay child support Had the freedom to see the children, but didn't bother If any of the above fit your scenerio then you may have difficulties getting partial child support.

This question cannot be answered. There are simply too many facts about the situation that are not known.
If the arrangement is with the consent of the custodial parent and will be permanent then the custody and child support orders must be modified to reflect the change in legal custody. The parent in Texas needs to have their custody formalized by a court order so they can enroll the child in school, consent to medical treatment, etc. If the child support order is not modified the non-custodial parent may be subject to the accumulation of child support arrears.
Possibly.
In the state of Texas, and any other state in the United States, the court system decides custody of children. In the juvenile court system, the best interest of the child is the deciding factor of a custody case.
