Child Support in Marriage Dissolution

My son is in federal prison for another 10 years. He is filing a joinder to his wife's petition for marriage dissolution and wants to know if he does not request custody of their 14 year old son if he is liable for child support. He fully supported her & the child before his incarceration.
