Upon the dissolution of a marriage, the court may make an order and decree for the suitable support and maintenance of the children by either spouse or out of such spouse's property, according to the nature of the case and the circumstances of the parties. In making the court's determination concerning the amount of support of any minor child of the parties, the court shall apply the child support guidelines as a rebuttable presumption. If the court finds that evidence is sufficient to rebut this presumption, the court shall make a written finding that the application of the child support guidelines would be unjust or inappropriate in that particular case, in order to provide for the best interest of the children, or the equity between the parties.

No. Custody and child support are two different things. If custody is modified, child support should also be modified at the same time. When/if that modification becomes legal, then and only then would any changes in support payments be made.
Here their chances are very slim indeed as they have not paid up for the child's support, and they may do it again or have done it before that is why they did not get custody of the child from a previous marriage.
Support and custody are two different issues. While it doesn't bode favorably as far as custody is concerned if the parent is a deadbeat, it doesn't automatically preclude them from obtaining custody if they can prove that in doing so, it would be in the best interests of the child.
You have the same chance you had before. Child support and custody are 2 different cases in court.

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.
Child support and custody are two different and only distantly related things. If there's a significant earnings disparity between the parents, it's very likely that a court could award child support to the lower income parent in a shared custody situation.
No. Custody means the child lives with you. Support means you are paying the parent who has custody.
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
You can transfer the case to the state of Tennessee. You can visit a local DHS office or a child support office for more information.
If the courts grant legal custody, the custodian shouldn't have to pay child support.
