Would it be wise to file for full custody of a 17 yr child if you were being sued for child support?

If you are not able to pay child support how will you afford a 17yo? Clearly that will weigh in if you file for custody. And even then you still owe the other parent the money since they have payed your part. I would not bother about that but if the child want to stay with you they soon turn 18 and can do what they want.

Do you have to have custody to file for child support?
Your question could be read in different ways. Child support is intended only for the support of children and their needs. If the children are in the custody of (living with and being supported by) someone who is not the parent on a regular basis, that person must petition the court to be appointed the legal guardian and then petition for a child support order against the parents. If you are the parent then you must have custody in order to get child support. If your children are in the custody of someone else, such as the example provided above, you cannot receive child support.

Can a parent that is behind in child support get joint custody of a child whos mother already has full legal custody?
Certainly some evidence of responsibility (ie paying child support, job, time spent with the child) would help your case. Joint custody, however, is not just for the purpose of reducing child support; infact the child support you pay is nowhere near what it costs to raise a child. Consider the ramifications of your sharing custody--what is in the best interests of the child??
