The child must live with the parent who has physical custody per the court order. A "child support paying father" cannot just take custody of the child. Read your court orders.If there is joint custody, there will be some kind of schedule... and no, you can't "stop a child from living with" the father if that's what the order says, even if he is notpaying child support (the fact that he isn't adhering to the order does not free you to break it also). You would need to go back to court and seek to have the order modified.

Yes, the father does get first claim, in order for the child to be adopted by someone else, he needs to give up his legal rights as a father to the child. If you fully give up the child for adoption, to him, then he can not make you pay child support, but if he takes custody only, then yes you may be instructed to pay child support. He does not need to adopt to get custody. But he may stop you from giving up your child, by claiming he supports the child financially, and does not wish to terminate parental rights, but also does not wish look after the child himself.Get a lawyer and discuss this with him.
