Was the child born during marriage? Is your name on the birth certificate? If either are true, you are assumed to be the parent unless proved otherwise (the biological father comes forth with a legal paternity test and custody/visitation order based on the same). While, depending on state law where you live, you may no longer have the rights and responsibilities of a legal parent, if you have been in the child's life for 5 years as the father, it would be unfair to the child to have you suddenly removed from their life. This is a case where both parents need to work together to act in the best interests of the child and if mother is agreeable, there is absolutely no reason why you cannot still continue to parent the child.
Yes. If paternity has been established the father will be required to pay child support until the child is at least eighteen.
If the father of your kids moves in does he still have to pay child support?
No. The father is still responsible for supporting his child. The new spouse has no legal responsibility whatsoever.No. The father is still responsible for supporting his child.

The new spouse has no legal responsibility whatsoever.No. The father is still responsible for supporting his child. The new spouse has no legal responsibility whatsoever.
As the father has no assumed rights to the child, he can still be ordered to pay by the courts.
No he does not because he is not the child's parent anymore.
Yes, he does. He is still a father, he has a child, and that child needs support.
Why not? It's still your child. Who has the child the father with mental problems or the custodial parent? Still if the father has mental problem and he fathered a child...yes he does have to pay child support. Was the father with mental problems receiving some type of disability for his mental problems? If so he is still responsible for paying child support. Does the father have custody of the child? Somebody needs to go back to court ad petition the court.
Yes, he is still the father.
Yes.
