Re: paying child support
The biological parents of a child are responsible for the child's support. This would not be entrapment. When two adults engage in sexual relations the possibility of a child resulting is always present. To avoid payment of child support altogether you would have to establish (via blood tests) that you were not the father.
Re: paying child support
No, it is not entrapment, at least not in the sense as the term applies to the criminal law. It would appear that you need to reshape your attitude towards this child in the few years that you may have left on planet Earth.
