If you have signed the birth certificate, then yes, that child is considered yours to support and claim. In some states, you can pay for that child if you provided support or let that child take on your name.

Can a court uphold a divorce decree where the child support is to stop upon remarriage of the party receiving support?
If the divorce paperwork states that child support ends when or if the person receiving support remarries, then, yes, the support will end as the court has ordered. If you are the payer of the support, you shouldn't even have to go to court to get this enforced. Since it's already written in the divorce order, a simple call to child support services, or whoever handles child support in your state, should get it handled. If you are the receiver of the support, the support will end as previously ordered by the divorce court, and agreed to by you, unless you hire a lawyer and take the other person back to court to get the order adjusted. Remember that the court has already ordered how this situation was to be handled, so it will not adjust a single thing unless you can show some especially compelling reason for the change. If the child has a serious illness or become disabled since the divorce would be a decent reason, but even that may not be enough.

You have asked a complicated question. The time to request a child support order is during the divorce proceeding although the custodial parent can request child support and arrears any time before the child reaches eighteen years of age. For a child over the age of eighteen, when there is no existing child support order, you should visit the court and ask the clerk or consult with a private attorney who can review the details of your situation and explain your rights and options.
