The purpose of child support is to support your child. Whatever else you do in your life has nothing to do with your responsibility to your child. If you have children with your new spouse - you still have to support your child from the former marriage. None of this is about YOU. It's about your child and his needs - and believe me, no judge is going to care how much added responsibility you've taken on.

Who gets custody of a child born in prison in AZ mother is in prison father is not they are married.?
If they are legally married, the father gets rights until mother gets out of prison, after that it is up to the state. If not legally married, they go into state custody.
Does the mother who files for child support first get more for her child than the other mother who files for support after she does. And will support be decreased or altered for the first one?
No. The family with the older child[ren] gets the full percentage of net income. The family with the younger child[ren] gets a percentage of net income after subtracting payments ordered and being made to the older child[ren].
If the father of a child gets married and owes back child support can the spouse be obligated to pay his back child support in CA?
An unmarried father cannot "choose" to not pay child support. The laws in every state require that a father pay for the support of his child. The mother must bring an action to the appropriate court so that a child support order can be established. Visitation rights are separate and a father can have visitation rights established by the court. Visitation rights are not dependent on paying child support.
Do you still have to pay child support in NYS if your 20 year old gets married?
No. Marriage constitutes the emancipation of a minor and child support obligations cease.
Can a mother still receive child support if she gets married?
Parents have an obligation to support their minor children. If your spouse is not doing so, he (I'm assuming it's a he) can be compelled to by a court. So, yes.
