Can a mother take a fathers child rights if hes paying child support?

   No....in fact, time sharing and child support are not related.    "Taking away" rights to a child is a very difficult and daunting legal procedure and is only used in the most extreme of cases where a child is in jeopardy because the other parent  is involved in decisions and/or has time with the child.     You indicate that the father had financial troubles, but now he is doing his bet to catch up with his obligations.  So, perhaps you should reevaluate your question.  Children are entitled to have a mother and a father unless that contact is detrimental to the child.
