Yes, as it is a separate issue. see links below
It is dependant on which state that you live in as to if the children are entitled to back child support after they are grown. You will need to consult with your local state child support office so they can better assist you with this question.
Yes.
Yes, if a parent owes back child support, they will have to pay it until it is zeroed out even when the children are grown. The age of the child does not affect back child support at all.
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.

Your child support is not dependent on whether or not you live with someone else. The support is for the child and the child's expenses. The only way your child support should stop is when the child turns 18 and all c.s. payments have been fulfilled (including back pay), when the back pay is paid in full (regardless of the childs age), when custody is changed (i.e. CPS/DSFS removal, juvenile detention, you go to prison/jail, guardianship of the child is awarded to someone else, the father wins custody of the children, etc.)
If he has them and refuses to return them you can call the police. If you want him to have legal physical custody the both of you need to go back to court and have the custody order modified and the father's child support order terminated.
This seems extremely unlikely.
By virtue of being "unwed" the mother will have sole custody. Father will have file some type of paternity action.
Parents usually have to pay for their child even if it is the state that has custody. The child is taken away and parental rights terminated in order to protect the child. If you want your parental rights back and custody you will have to turn to the court.
The money if for the child not the parent regardless of the situation. That being the case arrearages and current support payments would be allocated by the child support enforcement agency of the state where the minor child/children reside. The payment(s) would be given to the person(s) who have legal custody of the child/children. If a legal guardian has been appointed the payment(s) would go to them.
No, both parents have equal rights to the child. If the child is currently living with the father, then he has established temporary custody. A court will need to decide upon a formal custody and child support agreement.
That does not seem right. The father needs to go back to court and get the Judgement altered so that the mother pays the non custodial support.
