If the mother files for child support, then paternity will have to be established, and then the father will be responsible for child support.

And I'm biting my tongue about the merits of the question.

Once a child support order is filed, then if the couple was unmarried paternity will have to be established. The man then has no choice but to comply otherwise he may be named the father by default.

If the man was married at the time of the birth, he is the legal father in most states.
