Yes. The court requires a DNA test be done before granting child support. If you are not willing to give one the mother can ask for a court ordered one. That will prove paternity and also give you parental rights as petitioning for visitation or custody as well as paying child support.
In general, the question of child support arises when one or more of the parents is absent.
Once a paternity test is done, as it should always be.
The man who signed the birth certificate is the child's legal father until/unless a court rules otherwise, and can be made to pay support.
Unlikely. Your husband is the legal father of the child.
If he is the biological father, yes. That is what counts. If the mother and this man knew he was not the father they have both committed fraud by having him signing the birth certificate. The child have a right to know who his parents are as well.
If you have signed the birth certificate, then yes, that child is considered yours to support and claim. In some states, you can pay for that child if you provided support or let that child take on your name.
Yes, but if you're not married to her, you have no rights to the child. see link
Not signing a birth certificate does not remove one's responsibility. If you are not the bio parent of the child, attempt to arrange for testing that will be evidence of that. Otherwise, you are the parent of a child.
If the man signed the birth certificate knowing he was not the father he may be held responsible for providing child support until the child is eighteen in many states. If he did not sign the birth certificate it is unusual that he is paying child support. If he failed to request a DNA test at the appropriate time, again, he may have to keep paying. He needs to consult with an attorney who specializes in child support issues in his jurisdiction, who can review all the details of the situation and explain his options.If the man signed the birth certificate knowing he was not the father he may be held responsible for providing child support until the child is eighteen in many states.

That depends on the state and related circumstances.
No. However, if the alleged father has signed the birth certificate, he is acknowledging that the child is his. There are steps to take in order to be taken off of the birth certificate and relieved of the obligation of child support, including a paternity test and an amendment to the birth certificate.
No, but you will be obligated to pay child support without any rights. see links below
