No, in the U.S. the children of a first marriage take precedence in regards to child support. The law assumes that a person remarries and the person who becomes the new spouse accept the obligation for supporting all previously born children. Although this often institutes a hardship on second families, it is still the choice that a new spouse makes when marrying someone who has such obligations as child support and/or spousal maintenance (alimony).
No, whether or not the obligated parent is married to the person in question is irrelevant. The law presumes that the non custodial parent is obligated to support his or her child in the same manner of living that the child would have experienced if the parents had not divorced.
yes because they go by how many children are in the household of the paying person, so the payments will be lowered after the baby is born *In some states this is not the case. The father has to prove that his income has lowered and he cannot afford the present payments. To do this he must go to court and show a judge his income has lowered. Adding another child by a different mother has nothing to do with his current child support.
Support for the eldest child should not decrease based on the second child. When determining support for the second child, if any, he court/agency will take into consideration support ordered and actually paid for the first child.
Answer
But, this is variable from state to state as a civil rights issue can come into play. A father does not carry 100% of the care of a child. The mother carries a percentage, but how for you tell the custodial mother that she may not reduce her obligation to the first child when having another. In any intact family, as more children are born, the portion of family resources being spent on the older child is reduced to cover the additional cost of the new child. This is a growing problem with the growth of extended families and can only truly be addressed by restricting all parties to having no more children until the first are grown. This could addressed through the use of Bird Nest Custody.

Not as a reason to obtain a modification, however it can be a consideration at the new automatic review, or if the obligee parent files for an increase. see link below
Paying child support will not cause the father to lose his parental rights - neither will not paying child support.
Yes, see link
No but your mother can. The child support goes to her and not you.
My answer to that would be 'No'. The father is responsible for providing child-support regardless of who has custody of the child; at least until the age of 18.
now that you are married to the father of your child he doesn't pay child support but pays no gives more money to support yours and his child and running the household. good luck
Paying child support will not cause the father to lose his parental rights - neither will not paying child support.
The father has to have the court's consent to cease paying child support.
what do I do if my child's father is no where to be found what do I do if my child's father is no where to be found
If you are the child's father then you really have little legal support to not support your child. Your child is legally entitled to your financial support.

Yes.
A father cannot petition for emancipation, the child has to. And it doesn't relieve him of paying back support payments.
Not really. It is based on a percentage of the pay of the parent paying child support and the number of children that are his/hers with the custodial parent.AnswerThe child support you receive for the first child from her father is not affected by your having another child by a different father. The first father is only responsible for supporting his own biological child.
No but your mother can. The child support goes to her and not you.
ARE YOU TO TAKE CARE OF HIS CHILD? IS HE PAYING SUPPORT? ARE YOU SURE AFTER YOU HAVE HIS CHILD - WILL HE STAY AND NOT LOOK FOR ANOTHER GIRL TO HAVE A CHILD?
Yes, a mother South Africa can get an arrest warrant for a father living in another country if he stops paying for child support.
No.
