Most states have no-fault divorces, meaning that there is little consideration for who is to blame for the divorce. This means you might have to pay spousal support even if your spouse cheated.

Almost certainly.

Not true. This is determined by State statutes, and more states are taking the California route of "no fault" state meaning either party may terminate the marriage for any reason and everything's split 50/50. (Barring any additional circumstances such as children, prenuptial agreements, annulment timeframes, etc.)

If the child is yours you have to pay (in some states, even if the child isn't yours you'll have to pay). Child support is for the support of the child. The child doesn't need less to eat or fewer clothes because his/her mom cheated on you.

The determination of whether or not you have to pay and how much is up the the courts; they'll make some decision based on what they consider "fair", which may or may not have any relationship to what you consider "fair". You can hire an attorney to try to argue your side in order to convince them, but in child support cases, the court is going to be firmly "on the side of the child" and not punish the child for whatever the parents may have done.
