When the non custodial parent files their taxes, and the owe back child support will there return be taken from them?

I just want to know if I am owed back child support but the other parent if they filed their taxes will their income tax return be given to me for the back child support or how does that work

If there is a Refund Offset with the IRS for the back child support, then the refund would be taken.  Here is a TurboTax FAQ with more info about Refund Offsets:
