Q: My husband is on child support for a child who has never been legitimized, is he obligated to pay for health insurance?
Im assuming that he signed something that waived his rights to a paternity test? We are trying to figure out our options, as well as find out if the child is his, before we also get forced (possibly) into paying for healthcare for this child as well.

A: Yes, he can be made to pay insurance irrespective of legitimation. Paternity and child support are separate from legitimation and visitation issues.
A: The short answer is yes. He can be required to pay child support and provide health insurance for a child that has not been legitimized.
