It depends on the circumstances. If you adopted the child you have to or if you were married to the mother when the child was born and you signed the birth certificate the judge can find you should since you then took the responsibility upon yourself. If this is a situation where you are not married you can simply have a DNA test taken to prove you are not the father and you will not have to pay child support. When the court rules about child support they require a proof of paternity so there can not be any mistakes. So it depends on your situation.
Ethically, if the child is yours then you pay support. The circumstances are irrelevant.
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.
You might have to pay child support if you were married to the mother when the child was conceived/born, or if you signed an acknowledgment of paternity.

For the same reason everybody else pay child support - to support your child! Just because one parent is a illegal alien does not make the child any less yours.
no you should never have to pay for a child that is not yours i know as i am a child with a dad overseas and my sisters have a different dad and he does not have to pay for them
You can sign away your rights, but you will still owe for child support. The child is yours.
No but you need to prove it with proof like DNA test.
D.N.A test. INSIST ON IT>PAY FOR IT YOURSELF IF YOU HAVE TO.And if its yours do the right thing
Get a DNA test. Then if it proves the child isn't yours you won't have to pay child support. You might even be a able to get back the money you have already paid in child support.
No, you are only liable from the date you are notified of the application.
Yes, until/unless the child is adopted.
