Absolutely. Who cares what the mother wants, parenting time is for the child, not the parents. As to support, The child will still want to eat and wear clothes after the mother has full custody right? Side note: a man who wants to be a deadbeat dad for a prior child will probably end up a dead beat dad for any future children with you as well.
