No, you do not get child support for a child that is not in your custody. The point of child support is to help pay for the expenses that are involved in raising a child. If you are not actually raising a child, then you do not have those expenses and there is no need to help you pay for them.
Another Perspective
If you are not the custodial parent by court order or legal guardian you are not entitled to collect child support. If you are raising someone else's child you should visit the local family court to determine how you can become the child's legal guardian. You should ask to speak with an advocate or if possible, you should arrange a consultation with an attorney who specializes in custody issues.

Does the father still pay child support if the mother voluntarily gives custody to someone else?

Do you have to have custody to file for child support?
Your question could be read in different ways. Child support is intended only for the support of children and their needs. If the children are in the custody of (living with and being supported by) someone who is not the parent on a regular basis, that person must petition the court to be appointed the legal guardian and then petition for a child support order against the parents. If you are the parent then you must have custody in order to get child support. If your children are in the custody of someone else, such as the example provided above, you cannot receive child support.

Who pays child support when no legal custody has been established?
Determining child support has only one goal which is to determine medical, financial and daycare support. Custody is NOT determined when child support is established. To establish child support you have to go to court. Otherwise if the mother was unwed and paternity/custody is not established she automatically has sole custody which entitles you to pay her child support but you are not entitled to visitation, school/dr records etc unless she gives them to you... If custody is not established then the mother has custody
