I work for social services and know of many situations where child support is badly needed and at the same time many situations where the money received is being misused. My advice for your friend, Ape, is that he take it back to court. If he can prove his children are not being well taken care of and/or the support money is not being used to take care of the children, he should take what he knows to a judge. Even if he can't get custody, he may be able to make his CS payments to a third party who will make sure the money is spent on the children.
As bad as your boy's sitiuation is, it could be worse. In my state, if someone comes into apply fo welfare benefits, we must get info on the absent parent and sue for CS. If by some chance a woman gets pregnant and has a child with someone other than her husband, we have to sue both the biological father and the legal father, regardless of whether the husband and wife were together when the child was born. all that matters is that the man and woman were married when the child was born. If paternity has been established and the woman can provide proof, then we only sue the biological father.
I hope something I've said here will help your boy. Update me if you can.
