The registered parent (on the birth cert.) is obliged to pay child support (maintenance) to the parent that has custody of the child... circumstances sometimes vary, but this is usually the case.
Typically, alimony is reserved for those who have married for about 10 years or more. However, you need to views the laws on alimony for your state. http://www.helpyourselfdivorce.com/alimony.html
No, that is still your child. Alimony would stop but not child support.
no
The power to "grant" a divorce does not lie with you it lies with the family courts. You cannot force your spouse to stay married to you. The court will establish child support (and alimony, if any) based on the needs of the parties and the ability to pay.
Yes only if you owe your ex for back child support or alimony expenses, or if you're still considered legally married.
They are not married but they have a child together.

No, only the biological parents are required to pay child support. Depending on the state you live in you may have to pay her alimony.
Alimony and Spousal Support are the same thing. If you're awarded custody of the children, you'll receive child support. But alimony has nothing to do with whether or not you have children.
Child support is not recalculated automatically, and there's no reason it would change with the end of alimony.

Actually, limited time alimony is better to pay than child support. Child support separate from alimony only became common some 40 years ago. Alimony is tax deductible, while child support is not. When calculating child support, alimony is a deductible item from gross earned income on which the calculations are based, thus less child support is ordered. In addition, the alimony adds to the total taxable the other parent, resulting in them taking on a greater obligation in the support of the children. Balancing the benefits of one over the other is something to discuss with a tax accountant. Reducing taxable income, as a result of paying alimony, could bring the obligor into a lower tax bracket. Combining this with the lower child support obligation could actually create an overall savings as compared to just paying child support.
