Good question. Under the laws of all states in this coutnry if your mother is not supporting you, then she is not entitled to receive child support payments from your biological father. Whether or not you are entitled to child support directly under the fact scenario that you have written about from your father depends upon what the child support order states.
As such, you need to read the order. After reading it, the answer to your question should be solved.
