Does paternity have to be established before child support charges can be filed?
Yes, you have to bring the father to court for a paternity test, if he has not signed a recognition of parentage. They will not start a case on child support unless parternity has been established. If he will not willingly go to court the state through social services will mandate him to appear.
If father signed affidavit of paternity does mother still have legal custody of minor child if never married?
Laws vary in different jurisdictions. Generally, an unmarried father who signed an affidavit of paternity has established his paternity and can file a custody case. If you were never married to the other parent of your child, and never signed an affidavit of paternity then you must establish paternity legally (by a DNA test) before you can start a custody case.
If you live in Ohio and you are divorcing and your wife is pregnant by another man will you be responsible for the child?
I don't care what state you live in, if you did not father a child then you are not responsible for it. * Maybe. The law presumes any child born to a couple who are legally married is a product of that marriage until proved otherwise. In a few US states the married female can file a signed and notarized affidavit during the dissolution process stating the child is not of the marriage and the court will not apply parental obligations to the husband concerning that child. That, however, is totally at the discretion of the judge. In most US states the law requires that the child be born and paternity established before parentage is designated and in most cases before a divorce is granted. Even with the aforementioned acts, it is not a certainty that the husband would be relieved of obligations to the child regardless of results of a paternity test. That may be difficult to understand but is most assuredly can and has happened.
How do you legitimize a child?

What rights does the father have if the mom is in jail and they had never been to court for custody before?
Generally, if the parents are unmarried the mother has sole custody and control in most states until the father can establish his paternity. Remember, a child's mother can always be identified by medical records. Since the father didn't give birth and he was not legally married at the time of the birth he must seek other means of establishing his paternity and that is done through paternity test. A paternity test can be arranged through the court and once established the father can request visitations, custody or set up child support for the child.

When is an alleged father responsible to pay child support if he is not married to the child's mother?
When a court orders him to do so. Paternity must be established before an order for support is entered. This is done by: genetic testing; presumption, where the parties were married when the child was born/conceived; acknowledgment of paternity either in writing or in open court; default, where the alleged father fails to cooperate in the process.
