It is between the other party and the guardian ad litem; however, he/she can withhold any opinion, report or testimony if payment is not made.

No. The court needs to be made aware and the non-paying party will most likely be held in contempt of court. It should not delay the process.

I am not sure what specifically happens in your state but in most states social services takes care of paying the expenses for the child and the prosecutor would go after the parent who failed to pay.

Well, the other person could risk having their wages garnished or even face some jail time for non-payment of child support.

then the judge takes over and takes legal action against the one who did not pay. it will put the one who did pay in more favor in the judges eyes.
