You should contact an attorney who specializes in family law if possible. If not you should visit the family court in your area and speak with an advocate who can help you file a petition to establish your parental rights and obtain a visitation schedule. If you do not have a formal child support order in place one will be established. Child support and visitations are two separate issues.

Visitation rights and child support are two separate issues. Regardless if you see the child or not she will still need food and clothes etc. It's not something you pay just so you get to see her. That also means that if you one day are down on your luck and absolutely can not pay child support you can still have right to see her. The child has right to both parents. Even if you gave up your parental rights you would have to pay child support. If you are granted visitation and there's problems I suggest you go back to court.

Althought it may depend on a specific case, you usually need to pay child support unless you are the parent raising the child or the parent with legal custody of the child.

My child's father is a college student. Will he have to pay child support?

Yes, if he's over 18 and plans to see his child. If he doesn't, then he legally has NO rights to the child. Which is legal also... if he refuses to pay child support, then he gives up his legal right to see his child. End of story. You can't force someone to pay for something they don't want. But yes, if he's over 18, wants to see his child, then he must pay child support. Be firm.
