The father of the child (whether he was ever legally married to the child's mother or not) is obligated to pay the child support. His new spouse cannot be LEGALLY obligated to pay it since she has no part in the action at all, but there is no bar to her helping her husband pay it if she wishes to do so.
Is a father legally obligated to pay for child support all the way through college?
It depends on the laws of the specific jurisdiction, but in many cases, parents are only legally obligated to pay child support until the child reaches the age of majority, which is typically 18. Some jurisdictions may require child support to continue while the child is still a dependent, such as through college, but this varies.

If you legally give a kid your name is that like adoption?
It depends....Was it only a matter of the child's last name being changed or did you file a Petition to Adopt the child? For you to be the legal parent of this child, then you would have had to file the necessary court paperwork to adopt the child (i.e. petition for adoption) and the court would have had to enter a decree of adoption (i.e. granted your petition for adoption). If the child's name were changed absent an adoption action and decree then you are not legally responsible to support the child.
