No, but if the man chooses to take accountability in a court of law for that child deeming himself the "parent" then after that point there is no turning back adn the court can order it.
ANSWER
Under many circumstances this can happen. Right now there's a New York man paying child support to his ex-wife whose now married to the bio dad. In 20 states, once a child support order is in place, it cannot be overturned, regardless of paternity. This is commonly done to military men on deployment, who cannot return to fight the order. A Kansas man is currently trying to get the law changed. He's paying support to a woman he never had sex with. Missouri passed a paternity fraud law last July, but the man has just two years to learn he's not the father, to discontinue the support order. If a man lives with, or marries, a woman with a child, and his income improves their overall lifestyle, he can be ordered to pay child support to maintain this, even in cases where the bio dad is paying.

∙ 13y agoSounds like a trick question. Child support is ordered only after paternity is established either by presumption (parents married when child was conceived/born), acknowledgment, genetic testing or default. In some states/situations, the determination can be reversed.

∙ 12y agoYou have asked a complicated question and more details are needed such as were you married to the mother when the child was born. Situations and laws vary. See related link for more information on this aspect of paying child support for a child who is not your biological child.
A Different PerspectivePaternity must be established before an order for support is entered. This is done by: genetic testing; presumption, where the parties were married when the child was born/conceived; acknowledgment of paternity either in writing or in open court; default, where the alleged father fails to cooperate in the process.Wiki User
∙ 12y agoChild support is to be paid by the biological parent. If you can prove that you are not the parent, or the adoptive parent, you should not be required to pay child support. You have to prove that to a court, and it does not matter that you have never seen the child.

What is the obligation of the man if a woman and man were together for 20 years and they have 5 kids 15 being the oldest does the Father help with rent or can he move out?
When a couple has five children it's a great responsibility and it takes two to make babies. Yes, if the man was a man he would help his partner out with rent (if she is not working) and absolutely pay child support. If the man refuses to pay child support then by law his partner can go to court and will probably win for that child support. If the man refuses to pay that child support and has been to court he could be arrested and jailed.
