Technically, at least in IN, a parent can sign an agreement stating that they terminate their parental rights and that child support is also terminated. However, they can always petition the Court to reinstate their rights and/or the other party can always request child support - even if there was a signed agreement. The only way that parental rights can totally be given up is if a parent signs over their rights so a step-parent or other family member can adopt the child. The parent must agree to this, or is not required to agree if the child is 18 and wants to be adopted by their step-parent. see related link

Of course, you can't actually "force" someone to sign away their legal rights BUT if you file for adoption with the Court, you will serve that parent (if they can be located) and file a statement about their absence and lack of support. The Court can then terminate parental rights (and probably will if the facts you state are correct). This happens every day in Juvenile Courts to free a child up for adoption. A child is entitled to a permanent and stable home. It's not a difficult process to handle on your own OR an experienced adoption lawyer should be able to handle relatively inexpensivley.

You signed joint custody papers with your ex and they say there is no child support but he doesnt get her for equal time as you He gets her on weekends Is there any way you can still get child support?

If joint custody papers were signed stating no child support and your ex has the child only on weekends, it may be difficult to receive child support. However, you can consult with a family law attorney to explore potential legal options based on your specific circumstances. They can provide guidance on how to proceed within the confines of the existing custody agreement.

Can a father get joint custody of a child from a woman he wasnt married to when she doesnt even want visitation?

Yes and the choice of visitation is not up to her, it's up to the judge. If he is the biological father and have proved paternity in court, he can petition for custody, visitation and pay child support. She has no legal right to keep the other parent away from the child.
