In most cases, yes. Most state child support laws stipulate that if the non-custodial parent is voluntarily unemployed, child support will be calculated based on that parent's "earning potential." In many cases, earning potential mean the salary that the parent was previously collecting before quitting their job.

Visit your local family court and ask how to get your claim started. You can request a paternity test to confirm his paternity and then the court can establish a support order.

Once his paternity has been established he cannot avoid his obligation to support his child. Keep in mind that the father can also request a visitation order once his paternity has been established.
