Based on the information contained in your post, there is no reason listed for child support to open your case.

Custody by mandate is only one year long and does not abdicate the financial responsibility to support a child.

Any money given to the mother, after the date that the child support motion was filed, can be credited against arrears, ongoing or future child support, IF the father can prove it was paid.
My ex is suing me for child support. He makes way more money than me and has historically used his money and power given to him by the courts to get me to do what he wants.

You need to consult with a child support lawyer because your question is unintelligible.
I have custodial custody of all my children. Am I allowed to open a custody case here. Or do I have to go back south

He will have to pay child support from whenever they filed for it IF the paternity test reveals he is the father.

No, child support and visitation have nothing to do with each other, and 2 wrongs don't make a right. If he's not paying his child support, you can file a rule to have him held in contempt. Likewise, if you refuse to allow him visitation, he can file to have you held in contempt.
But during the course of time she became incarcerated then her sister kept the kids for a few months. I've been paying them both child support and neither my daughter(17yrs) or my son(15yrs) live with either of them. We agree on terminating my Child support order. Is that possible? Because...

Please call a custody lawyer to do a timeline to see if you owe arrears or not.

Hire a child support lawyer who practices in the parish from which the support order is originating. Get certified copies of your pre-existing child support orders.
No custody agreement has been set in place yet, the kids have been with me since May of this year. I haven't been served the actual papers yet but my court date is December 1st.

The state will represent you on child support but you need a private attorney for custody.

Uniforms and school supplies are included in child support.
I filed through the state with no attorney. Child support office is claiming they can't find out where he work. He's a truck driver with cdl and they still haven't suspended his license with 20k in arrears. If his license is threatened to be suspended he'll pay.

You now have cause to file for custody. Seize the opportunity.
