Answer

You want to remain consistent in verb tense.  You can fix this by saying I know they will support me.

Answer

Yes, it is correct and natural. Using "will" here shows that their support is a predictable trait, blending their current habit with future reliability.

For a purely present meaning like "they're always there for me," say "...they support me..." But "...WILL support me..." adds meaning with the idea of guaranteed future help, which is also perfectly fine.
