Yes, of course. That is the purpose of paying child support: to help the custodial parent pay the costs associated with raising the child. Both parents are responsible for supporting a child and the non-custodial parent must support the child financially.

With no courts orders in place, the father has no legal right to have the child living with him. The mother has sole custody and control in all states, and he can still be obligated to pay support for this time period. He needs to immediately file a motion with the court to establish his rights and for at least temporary custody, pending a full hearing, before she gets wind of the fact that she can take the child away from him at any time. see links below.
