Can a man legally put a woman on child support?

No, typically child support is ordered by a court and is based on the financial circumstances of the parents, not their gender.


If you were with a woman one time and she became pregnant are you obligated to pay child support if you do not want the child?

Yes, the issue of a biological father not wanting the woman to bear the child is irrelevant and will not affect his legal obligation to support that child. Both parents of a minor child are legally obligated to financially support that child until he or she reaches the stated age of majority.

If a women is married and has an affair who pays child support?

To clarify, if you mean a woman has had an affair and become pregnant? If this is the case, and the husband is aware of it, he can order a paternity test to determine if the child is his or not. If it is not, as far as I know, the woman can go after the man who fathered the child for financial support. Support obligations only belong to the actual biological father OR a father who has legally adopted a child. There is a whole moral issue though - if the parents are staying together, does the husband want to alienate this child by not supporting it and how would he live in the same house and not support it? So really it depends on if the couple stays together. If they don't, the husband has NO obligation to support the child.

Who has the rights if a woman is legally separated - but not divorced - and has a child with someone else?

It's unclear as to whose "rights" and what "rights" you are asking about. CAUTION: In some (all?) states, for purposes of child support and visitation, the HUSBAND is considered (by law) to be the father of the child even if he did not conceive the child. Proceed very cautiously in this area!
