His parents will be responsible until he turns 18 years of age. By the time you take him to court, he will probably be of age and it will all be on him, financially and morally. * In most instances, no. The parents could not be held legally or financially responsible in such a situation. Generally the court will spindle any support petition until the minor reaches the age of majority and then review the case, at which time it will be decided if support should be ordered and any arrearages assessed. In all US states the father's paternity must be established when it concerns a child born out-of-wedlock before the court will address any other issues.

Yes, marriage automatically emancipates a minor. That means the minor is now considered a legal adult and the obligated parent of that individual is no longer responsible to pay support. The parent paying the support must however have the support order terminated through the required court procedure of his or her state. The gender of the minor is not relevant as the laws for the emancipation of a minor apply equally to both males and females, with the exception of an unmarried pregnant minor who can be emancipated only by the court to become eligible for public assistance.

Yes, unless something in the applicable laws for your area say otherwise. Child support is generally required until 18, older if going to college.
