A "legitimate" child is one whose parents were married when s/he was born; therefore, a child support order cannot "legitimize" a child.
A simple DNA test would be sufficient to legitimize the father. If the result were positive, chances are that he would have to pay child support.AnswerI believe after a paternity test is conducted and results prove he is the child's father, you can legally claim child support. Claiming doesn't necessarily mean you will get something, it all depends on your situation and the fathers and of course the court will be involved.

If the Mother is dead or absent, it is Motherless. If the child has no parents alive or around, then that child is an orphan.
If the child is in foster care you pay but not if the child is adopted. Then the child have new parents who are responsible for him/her.
