Can a step-father claim a child that is not his on his taxes so does the real father can claim his child?
According to the IRS, the only person who can claim a child as a dependent on a tax return is a relative (to include step parents, foster parents, etc) who provided custodial support for the child for more than 50% of the year. In other words, if the child lives with you for at least 183 out of 365 days during the tax year, you can claim him/her. If the child lived with you for 182 days or less, you cannot.

Can father claim child on taxes without mother's permission?
In general, a father can claim a child as a dependent on taxes if he has the legal right to do so, which typically requires the mother's consent or a court order. If the parents are not married, the custodial parent (usually the one with whom the child lives for the majority of the year) has the primary right to claim the child. If the father wishes to claim the child and the mother does not agree, he may need to obtain her permission or file a court petition to establish his right. Tax laws can vary, so it's advisable to consult a tax professional for specific guidance.
Does a father have to pay more child support if he claims child?
I can only assume you mean claiming the child on your taxes. If you pay child support on a child and claim that child on your taxes, you are committing tax fraud. You can only claim a child on your taxes if you are providing most of his support and that includes he has to be living with you for most of the tax year. How much a father pays does not necessarily relate to him claiming the child on his tax return. You need to review your court orders. They should address who gets to claim the child as a dependent for tax purposes. If not set forth in the order then check your state laws. Most states provide that the custodial parent gets to claim the child for all of the reasons set forth above.
