He was found not guilty by prosecutor. His Miranda rights were not read to him. I live in TN now, he is still in IN. I moved for my safety.
It depends on what the injuries were and when the occurred. And if the incident(s) occurred in a state other than Tennessee, you'll need to check that state's law on statutes of limitation.

I had to leave my apartment suddenly with my infant due to a domestic situation that turned violent. The apartment complex has now turned me over to collections. Can they do this if the apartment was rented quickly after I left?
The short answer is, yes. If you broke the lease then you would be responsible for any damages that were not covered by a security deposit. They have a duty to mitigate by getting a new tenant. But even doing that may not have covered anything you owed on the lease.

Yes. Income from both parents is calculated pursuant to the guidelines.
More facts are needed to answer your question. But yes, landlords have certain obligations after a lease ends or you vacate, or don't vacate for that matter.
Can the mother and husband request child support from the biological father?
Child support is calculated based on income, custody, and other factors and compared to the child support guidelines. Adultery is not one of those factors.
Sure, it's possible. Usually by post-conviction process, parole, or pardon.
First, you haven't asked a question. Second, sounds like a scam. If you were supposed to ship the car you better be real sure the funds clear the bank before you do.
I settled over an $800+ bill in court and paid it off. Now the same collection agency on behalf of the same hospital, is saying i owe another $1900+ from previous service dates before the aforemention $800+ bill. Is this even legal? What should i do?
Could be legal. Sounds like you only settled one bill. Without seeing the other bills, it's hard to say whether they can collection for various issues including statutes of limitations. Consult local counsel to best determine your options.

I had water damage and the contractor said they would have to remove the subfloor and replace it. Turns out they only dried it then laid the new floor over the warped subfloor.
