I believe a child is born illegitimate if the parents are unmarried, either when the child is born, or remain unmarried after. From another prospective: This is a fair Question, and one of Moral, as well as legal venue, the simple answer is having children without being married, by which marriage laws are legal contracts in most states of the U.S. so having a child outside of the legal means, would tend to make what comes with the legal aspect of marriage, not legal, or illegitimate as to claims such as divorce, property settlements, etc. Most states nowadays have Common Marriage laws, which act the same as legit marriage laws, that when a couple engages as if they were married for a certain length of time, it is seen as a common law marriage, and subject to all the rights, and privilege of any marriage. The Declaration of Independence so states "We hold these Truths to be Self Evident, that all men are Created Equal, and endowed by their creator with certain unalienable Rights" So no one is Illegitimate in the eyes of the founders, nor the Creator

What is a Jewish father's obligation to his illegitimate daughter?

It depends on what the term "illegitimate" means. The term "illegitimate" is much more expansive than the Hebrew term "Mamzer" which refers to a child born out of an incestuous relationship or a child born to a married woman and a man not her husband. The father has no obligation to a Mamzer. The father does have an obligation to any other child that he fathers (regardless if it falls within the Western definitions of legitimate or illegitimate).
