How does the father get custody if the mother has no job and no means of supporting the kids except for child support?

Those circumstances do not give the father rites of custody. The courts grant rights to custody based on the safest and most conducive environment for the children, with a traditional bias toward custody for mothers.
Sadly, trying to prove one or the other is the betterparent is a pointless endeavor. The adversarial nature of US courts is such that one parent must prove the other is less than fit or unfit, and THAT is not a conducive environment for children.

Does the father still pay child support if the mother voluntarily gives custody to someone else?
No, if the mother voluntarily gives cutody to someone else, she can no longer be paid child support because she no longer has custody of the child.
