The right to petition the courts for the right to see and support his child.
Child support is calculated based on income of the father (or mother in such a case). If the father is unemployed his child support will still be calculated based on whatever minimum wage is in your state. The only time this does not apply is when the father is on disability. Welfare shouldn't matter.
A mother does not render child support orders. The petition must be filed through the courts and the courts will render a decision according to state laws.

The following assumes that this man has not adopted the child:1. If there is an order in place, payments will continue to accrue under that order unless/until the court enters a finding of non-paternity.2. If there is no order in place, the courts must first determine paternity before deciding whether to order support.
Yes, until/unless the courts grant primary legal custody and terminate support.
