You pay the support. She didn't have that child by herself.
You will be expected to pay however much you can afford and the amount you can afford will be determined by the judge. But, does your lack of funds really decrease the amount of money it will take to raise your child? Regardless of how much money you have it will cost the same amount to feed and clothe the child. So, you might want to have another look at your budget and your conscience before trying to get out of child support.
You don't need a lawyer. You should have a good case anyway. I suggest that you contact your State's child support agency. When you get an interview with them, bring all the papers relating to your child support: birth certificates, acknowledgments of paternity, court orders, payment records, etc. Be polite but persistent. Good luck!
not neccesarily, you would have to file for a child support modification or review in court you can usually find a pro se website for your state which should have the documentation to allow you to do it yourself (I'd give you a link but I am unaware of the state you are located in)
If you have custody of a child from another relationship then you can request a child support order from the court for that child. Your situation displays some irony.
Nothing. Having more children does not cancel his responsibility to his first child. He and his new wife will need to decide how they can afford to have another child while still supporting the one he already brought into the world. His new wife may need to keep working. If a father can't support a child he already has because he wants to have another he may need to reconsider expanding his family.Nothing.

no, of course not
They can only do so if the child is a qualifying child or relative anyway...and they provided the support.
Child support is based on net income. The courts can require the obligor to look for work if they decide that his non-work income is not sufficient to support the child.
No $2500 limit
The obligee would have to convince a judge that such action would be in the best interest of the child.
This is dependent to specific state laws, as well as the strength of the argument before the court.Another PerspectiveGenerally, no.

No, He has a moral obligation to support his child financially and emotionally. Unless his income has decreased support should remain the same.
