To a child born in the marriage, or to the other woman?
ULtimately, YOU are, although the "biological" father is also responsible if you can confirm paternity and wish to pursue in a court of law.
a paternity suit
Yes, if your child gets married, you will become the father- in-law of the person they married. Of course, you will still be the father of your child, so you will be both a father and a father in law at the same time.

If you were married to the mother or you signed an acknowledgment of paternity, the law presumes that you are the father. However, before you agree to any child support, ask the court for genetic testing.
No. No woman can by law deny a potential or possible father of a paternity test of their child(ren).
ALL fathers have a right to their kids no matter WHAT it is also stated in some laws
The laws will vary state to state, but if paternity has been established by DNA test or a signed birth certificate and the father is not paying child support, the mother can take him to court for payment.
In the state of Georgia, a man can request a court-ordered DNA test to establish paternity, even if the woman is married to another man. The court may order a genetic test if paternity is in question, and the results can be used to determine legal parental rights and responsibilities. It's best to consult with a family law attorney to guide you through the process.
A grandfather is not a father-in-law if the parents (one of whom is a child of the grandfather) are not married.
You will need to file a paternity lawsuit in court. The court will then order that a paternity test be done to determine whether you are the father of the child. I strongly recommend that you talk with a family law attorney before filing a lawsuit. A listing of family law attorneys is available in your local phonebook.
