Does the father have to pay child support if there is joint legal custody with mother having primary placement?

This is not legal advice. You need to consult with an attorney from your state to find an actual answer to your situation.
That said, depending on the state in which you live, a father may be required to pay child support as part of a joint custody agreement.
In some cases, a father who has primary placement in excess of 50% may have to pay child support if the income disparity between parents is an issue.
Again, this answer does not constitute legal advice, and you should in all cases consult a family law attorney from the state in question in your particular situation.
