Do you still have to pay child support if the child refuses to see his father?

Child support is issued by court order. Unless the court order specifically gives this as a reason not to pay support - and I can guarantee it never will - you're still on the hook for it whether or not you get to see the kid.
You can get the court to include specific provisions requiring visitation but the failure of the child to want to see you or the ex stopping you won't get you out of it. Now, if you have visitation and the ex won't let you see the child, you go with a witness - or a police officer - and then go back to court with the witness testifying that the ex refused visitation, whereupon the court will order the ex to comply.
But you can't really do much if the kid doesn't want to go with you or see you short of dragging him places.

If the custodial parent two children give one of the children back to the father does the father still have to pay child support for the one child that stayed with the mother or are they even?
No, the father has to pay child support for both children. Of course the child that decides to live with him will be treated as he/she were when you were both married, but the child you have will still continue to receive child support by law!
Will you still get child support payment if the father is on welfare?
Child support is calculated based on income of the father (or mother in such a case). If the father is unemployed his child support will still be calculated based on whatever minimum wage is in your state. The only time this does not apply is when the father is on disability. Welfare shouldn't matter.
If a mother does not want child support can the father see his child?
You will still have to pay back if any owed. After you sign you won't have to pay anymore because all your legal rights to the child will be terminiated. If Mom agrees to let you voluntarily terminate your parental rights, then, no, you won't have to pay child support going forward (but will still have to pay any arrearage unless Mom agrees to forgive it). But DO NOT do this if it not what you want to do. If you want to be a father, fight for it. Get court ordered visitation, then if Mom refuses to allow you to see your child, she can be held in contempt of court.

Can a woman make a man from a one night stand do a DNA test?
This probably varies by state however in order to obtain child support you will need to prove who the father of the child is. If you believe someone from a one night stand is the father, and know his name and his whereabouts you can have the court order a DNA test for this person. If he refuses to submit to the test, in most states he would be declared the father. In fact, if he refuses the test and is deemed the father of the child and it is later found that he is not, in most states he is still required to continue to pay support.
