Support and custody are two different issues. While it doesn't bode favorably as far as custody is concerned if the parent is a deadbeat, it doesn't automatically preclude them from obtaining custody if they can prove that in doing so, it would be in the best interests of the child.

Wait two years and modify. An incorrect amount is interpretive, as sole custody father are still ordered to pay child support.
If you are a teen parent can you still collect child support?
Yes, either from the other teen parent, or the teen's parents, which can be either the teen mother or father, depending on which has court ordered custody. Child support may not be ordered if the teen parent has joint physical custody, which is best for the child.
What legal right do have if the mother is receiving child support for a child that is not in her care?
