Yes, the birth of another child may affect child support. A filing should be made to recalculate the support amount based on this change of circumstance.
Added: In Delaware, for example, parents are given a 'credit' for other minor children they are supporting that are not part of the filing. So, while the right to support may not be affected, the amount of support may be.
Generally, the older child's right to support is not diminished by the birth of subsequent children.
Yes , the biological father will be held legally responsible for the support of his child .

P.S. OR DOES CHILD SUPPORT START FROM THE DAY PATERNITY IS PROVEN????
No. However, if the alleged father has signed the birth certificate, he is acknowledging that the child is his. There are steps to take in order to be taken off of the birth certificate and relieved of the obligation of child support, including a paternity test and an amendment to the birth certificate.
No you do not. The mother-to-be can not sue for child support until after birth.

No, child support can only be taken from the birth parents.
Child support accrues from the moment the support order is issued, not from the birth of the child.
Yes, a man who signs a birth certificate is legally considered the father of the child and can be required to pay child support.
If another man signs the birth certificate, he may be legally recognized as the father of the child. This can have implications for custody, child support, and other parental rights and responsibilities. It is important to establish paternity accurately to ensure the child's best interests are protected.
no, of course not
Because that child still needs support and the birth parent is the one who should pay it.
In theory, the court can order retroactive support to the birth of the child. However, many judges will not order support for a period prior to the obligor's awareness of the child.
yes it does! In general, the birth of a subsequent child[ren] will not affect the parent's obligation to the older child[ren]. When calculating support for younger children, support actually ordered and paid for older children is subtracted from net income.
No, He has a moral obligation to support his child financially and emotionally. Unless his income has decreased support should remain the same.
Yes. Only of the child is adopted can you get out of paying child support.
