They can take you refund even if you did not claim the child, and I hope they do. They are also likely to disallow the dependency exemption, since you apparently did not actually provide the required support in the year in question.

It doesn't matter whether you claim your child or not (whether you were entitled to claim the child is another issue), any refund you might otherwise be entitled to can be seized.

Yes. First, a tax intercept has to be created (probably done by a County Dept. of Child Support Services).

I suspect you may be asking about whether or not your income tax refund can be intercepted to pay a child support obligation. The answer is yes, whether or not you are claiming the child on your taxes which is another matter altogether.
