if I now have 50/50 shared custody, do I still have to pay child support because she doesn't want to work and is married?

You should contact an experience attorney about this. There are a lot of factors regarding child support, including whether or not an earning capacity can be assigned to the mother of your child(ren). If that earning capacity is equal to your earnings or earning capacity, then you will not have to pay child support per se. But you should speak with an attorney about the specific facts of your situation to address this.
