Generally, if the parents are unmarried the mother has sole custody and control in most states until the father can establish his paternity.

If I have custody of my child and don't receive child support and I allow my child to go live with his father is he entitled to child support?
He may be. It will be determined by a court if he decides to take it up with the state. If you have custody, was there a stipulation regarding child support? If there was a divorce agreement it may state the stipulations regarding support and custody. If the custodial parent is giving up physical custody of the child to the previously non-custodial parent then child support may be changed.
Does the father still pay child support if the mother voluntarily gives custody to someone else?

What happens now is the father can obtain custody because he does have rights or the person who has custody and have legal guardianship can file for assistance in which child support can be included or filed.

Can a father get custody after 14 years just because I file for child support?
Filing for child support has no bearing on the issue of custody. Custody is decided on the basis of the welfare of the child.

I will add that even if you do need financial assistance, that does not in any way suggest that you are not a good mother. Those are separate issues.
