Not if she was abusive
You can request anything you'd like, but no court is going to grant you support for a child that you do not have legal custody of.
Generally no, though there is a presumption of primary residential custody for the obligee parent. In states like California, the amount of time the obligor parent has the child affects the amount of child support ordered.ClarificationChild support orders and custody orders are separate. Generally, the parent who pays child support pays it to the custodial parent.
You can appeal to a judge to order him to pay child support, but not see the kids because he is abusive. If you are awarded full custody, then you can do what you want. Child support, custody and visitation rights are akk different issues. A parent does not have the legal right to decide who retains custody of a child, if the non-custodial parent may have visitation rights, if child support should be awarded and what amount of support should be paid. Such issues are determined by a judge in accordance with the laws of the state where the child(ren) resides. Both biological parents are given the opportunity to present their case and submit supporting evidence pertaining to all the previously cited issues.

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
If the courts grant legal custody, the custodian shouldn't have to pay child support.

Get custody
Yes! You need to either have custody or legal guardianship to receive child support, AND have the legal documentatio to prove it.
Usually when a couple gets divorced they also decide on custody of the children. If you waived your rights to your children then she is free to go where she wants and as far as she wants with the children. If you didn't agree to this and have partial custody she can't leave the State without your consent and if she did this could be considered "kidnapping" in some States. If neither of you bothered re custody of the children and you just saw them when you felt like it, then you can sue her right back and legally get custody of your children. I suggest you seek legal counsel. These are reasons a court may give full custody of the children to the wife: The father was abusive to the mother or children Alcohol/drug abusive Refusing to work Working, but not supporting the wife and children Refusing to pay child support Holding back money on child support Quitting work so as not to pay child support Had the freedom to see the children, but didn't bother If any of the above fit your scenerio then you may have difficulties getting partial child support.
