It depends on your state law but in most cases yes you can. Just because a court has deemed the father unfit to parent does not mean they are absolved of there financial obligation to the child.

∙ 5y agoIt is unlikely a father who isn't supporting his child would be granted custody. Why should custody be taken from the mother?
He would have to provide compelling evidence to the court that the mother is unfit and it would be in the child's best interest for him to be granted sole custody.
The factors used to determine that a parent is unfit are generally governed by state laws with child endangerment being the determining factor. The following include some of the reasons a parent may be declared unfit:
- physical, emotional and sexual abuse
- excessive discipline
- failure to protect the child from abuse by others
- failure to report abuse of the child
- neglect- failure to provide food, clothing, proper hygiene, necessary medical treatment, schooling
- failure to provide proper medical care
- failure to provide day to day parental care
- serious illness or disability
- mental illness
- substance abuse or addiction
- Alcoholism
- criminal activity and/or associations
- incarceration
- conduct or conditions that are seriously detrimental to the child
- abandonment
- child endangerment
- leaving the child unattended or in the care and supervision of a child or otherwise incompetent person
- a failure to provide adequate supervision
- unsafe living conditions
- a medical condition that makes it impossible for the parent to adequately care for the child
- leaving the child in someone else's residential-type care for extended periods of time
