Generally yes. If you are behind in child support and your state child support enforcement office collects your payments from you, they will take their tax refund to cover back child support. The state will take the back support and give it to the child support enforcement agency to give to you.
You have to contact the Child Support Agency to find out.

His owes child support would it go to me or will it go to pay back child support
Maybe - IF there is a tax offset order issued by the child support agency AND if there is any refund to offset. Many persons with an offset levied against then arrange their withholding so that they owe tax at the end of the year and get no refund at all so there is nothing to offset.
You cannot. Privacy laws prevent that. Ask the agency that placed the offset.
So if I call the Irs they can’t tell me if I will receive any thing from child support back pay
The IRS will not tell you anything about anyone's tax return other than your own and you must prove your identity before they will even tell you about your own. Only the child support agency that placed the offset can tell you - call them.
When you say ex? Does that mean husband or boyfriend? So if you broke up with your boyfriend and are on state assistance and have Foodstamp and are on HUD when the ex boyfriends taxes are seized the woman gets it? How does that make any sense? Wouldn’t the state get it for all the money they gave the woman?
@medailytoday - nobody said anything about food stamps or government assistance. This thread is about child support. Absent parents that have child support judgements against them may, under law, have their tax refunds offset to satisfy that obligation. The purpose of child support is to support the child's needs, not the government.
I know nobody said anything about those things but in my case my husband signed a birth certificate at 15 and the girl has been coming after him for child support for 19 years everybody knows he’s not the father the mother and the daughter say so but he’s still obligated and since nothings been done he continues to pay all year and get all his returns taken but this lady is on Foodstamp’s and everything I was wondering if when he pays the rest of his back child support does she get it or the state ? And since the child is now 18 would she get it?
I’m new to taxes and I never get any confirmation of wher the money actually goes it would just be nice to know
@medailytoday - If a Federal tax offset then contact the Bureau of Fiscal Services Toll Free: 800-304-3107 for information.

If a state offset then contact the state taxing authority.
Most child support orders expire when the child turns 18, but can continue if the support is in arrears until the debt is paid off.
Whether he should be paying support at all is a legal issue, best discussed with an attorney (nobody here can offer legal advice).
My ex owes me back child support and the Texas AG protects her because she is a woamn. She received her full refund and laughed about it. There is no equality for fathers with custody of their children. She makes 55k a year and they only have her paying 200 a month for two children. Equality my [profanity removed].
@charles1979gary - same as above comment. That is a legal issue, not a tax issue. Take it up with your attorney.
