1. She lives in Texas, all custody and child support concerns are going to go through Texas. As far as you know, she could have filed for divorce in Texas and be divorced with a current support order out for him. Visitation is set by family court along with child support, however, Child Support Enfocement will act as an "attorney" for the custodial parent in situations that concern child support after a court order has been set
2. Child support will never be based on zero income, whether he is working or not, the lowest it will be based on is minimum wage. I live in Oklahoma and a support order will only be modified once a year voluntarily by the CS agency, or by a court order.
There really isn't a lot child support enforcement can do when it's interstate, meaning when the NCP lives in a different state. My ex lived in Connecticut and all that was ever done was an income assessment was sent to his employer and that employer had to honor the garnishment and his federal income tax refund was garnished. When he finally moved backed to Oklahoma earlier this year he remained unemployed up until recently. He opened a checking account to have his earnings direct deposited and low and behold Child Support found his bank account and put a freeze on it, throwing his account into the negatives, I'm talking in the thousands. Like others have said, everything you two have will have to be seperate. Plus if he does end up getting disability, that too will be garnished for child support.
