Yes. Just because you're not married doesn't mean you're not the child's father, and it's on that basis that child support is ordered. * Additionally, both parents are equally responsible for supporting their child/children. Courts no longer grant custodial rights to the mother simply because she is "the mother". However, the law presumes that an unmarried woman retains sole custody to a child until a court rules otherwise. The father must establish parentage before the court will consider child support, custodial, visitation or other issues

If the dad has custody but child lives with mom can mom file for support?
No. If the mother has full custody, the father must pay child support to the mother who is supporting the child.

There are formulas for each state and county that the courts follow. There are also circumstances that do not follow typical guidlines.
