Not unless they have a 50/50 parenting plan and earn about the same amount of income.

In SC, it is possible if you have an agreement that is incorporated into a Court Order. I do hereby notify you that you should not rely on this information and should not apply it to any situation without further consultation with legal counsel.

It will depend on the circumstances, generally child support is seen as an obligation to the child as opposed to the other parent. Most certainly if the custodial parent is on some form of stated her welfare the child support obligation will not be waived.
