Can you just have a custody order in place and no child support order?

Yes, as they are separate issues.
However, a custodial parent can request a child support order at any time. Also, some jurisdictions do not allow parents to decide that the non-custodial parent will not pay child support. The view is that every child is entitled to be supported by both parents. If the custodial parent doesn't need it then the payments should be placed in a savings account to pay for college. Also, if the custodial parent and child are receiving any assistance then the non-custodial parent will be required make payments to the state.

If you have joint custody and one parent abandons the child what happens?
I suggest you return to court to get sole custody and an order for support, if there isn't already one in place.
Does a father in nc have to give back his child to the mother in sc if no court order custody is in place?
No, both parents have equal rights to the child. If the child is currently living with the father, then he has established temporary custody. A court will need to decide upon a formal custody and child support agreement.
If the mother loses custody does the father have to pay child support?
There are lots of factors involved. What does the court order say? If there is back child support owed, it is still to be paid. The child still needs to be supported, in this case the state may take the money and give it to the foster care or new guardian for the benefit of the child.

Can a child support issue be put in place if in jail?
Who is in jail? If the child is in jail, they have custody. If the adult is in jail, they should never get custody. If the spouse is in jail they should not get custody. Jail would have no bearing on the time of custody, just who should be able to even see the child.

How do you stop child support when the child lives with non-custodial parent paying?
File for a change of custody. File for stopping child support. Contact the local agency to whom you actually pay the child support.**Additional Answer**The way the US child support system works is, in a nutshell...A Court/Judge 'ordered' the support to commence, for a certain amount/time, when things were first established with the support agency. That particular Court/Judge is the proper place/ones to contact to get the court's 'Support Order' changed or to cancel it. A Judge will have to 'order' the support be changed or terminated.
If the child is in temporary custody does the parent have to pay child support?
If there is a court order in place requiring you to pay support the answer is obviously..Yes. If the children have been removed by CFS or whatever it is called in your state. You will be notified at the hearing as to your financial obligations. There is always a Family Court hearing whenever children are taken into protective custody. If they are living with a relative, or spouse then that is a different matter. This is a situation where you should seek legal counsel.

The obligor continues to owe support regardless of where the child is in this world. But, you should file a motion for interference with custody, as well as a motion to place child support into a trust fund. see link below
Is it legal to pay a parent to relinquish custody of a child in Texas?
No, because it is considered bribing, and even if you could, I doubt a parent would give up a child for money if they are suing or have custody in the first place. If you want said child, you can sue for custody of the child. If you cannot gain custody, then the next best thing to do is sue for visitation.It's not legal to pay a parent to relinquish custody of a child in any state! But if the parent in question has a child support award, he or she will be free of paying child support or being in any way responsible for the child from that day forward.
