A minor child may not choose to live with the non-custodial parent. The non-custodial parent can go to court to have the custody order modified, but the only age at which a child is free to choose which parent they want to live with is the one at which they're no longer a minor.
Yes. Child support is for the "custodial parent". If you are not living at home with your custodial parent, then they are no longer eligible to receive child support. However, the non-custodial parent can request a modification if the child is no longer living with the custodial parent and that includes a change of custody.

If that is the case, then the custodial parent and child are no longer eligible for child support.

No, it's up to the court. However, the non custodial parent would traditionally become the custodial parent. The parent should always have first right to their child!
When that child turns 18, he or she can choose to live with the noncustodial parent.
