Re: Child Support
Yes, you will most likely still have to pay child support, unless the court orders otherwise. Typically, unless a child is adopted or a parent's parental rights are terminated, the child support obligation continues. If you have more specific questions regarding your personal situation, I would encourage you to seek the advice of an attorney.
Re: Child Support
I assume by your inquiry that you are, indeed, the father of this child. . .who would you wish provided for the support and welfare of your child? Unless your rights are terminated by the Court, you are indeed obligated to provide financial support for a child whom you conceived.
