the benefits your daughter receives are considered child support. But you might want to check with your child support office to make sure.

Excellent question-- you need to speak with a family law attorney on that one. You would probably end up having to pay for something if your ex-wife has 100% (or some other primary custody ratio) custody, even if she's on state/fed benefits; the question is how much? Most of the time, states base it on the parents' ability to pay, etc., but you should go to a lawyer so that you don't have to pay more than you have to or get some sort of crappy judgment/order entered against you.

My understanding is if you were court ordered to pay then you must. You might be able to petition the judge to reassess the child support situation though. I recommend that until the original judge's decree is changed, you must continue to make the payments. You should consult your attorney that handled the case.

Yes. You made the child and bare part of the responsibility.

If there is a court order mandating child support, then: yes.
