If there is an offset order on record with the IRS and state, yes, your refund will be seized for the back child support.

refund offset.

if you owe a debt that is eligible to be recovered by offsetting your tax return, then it can be offset. Having a new child which increases your tax refund, does not protect the refund from being offset for prior debts.
