If the father is the custodial parent he can request a child support order at the court that has jurisdiction over the case. He should consult with an attorney in his area who specializes in family law.

Unemployment compensation is countable income for purposes of child support. If the father has legal custody, the amount of time that the child spends at the mother's home probably won't matter.
