A: If the child is born during the marriage, then you are legally the father. And you will be liable for child support to her if there is a divorce. The same result if you marry after birth and adopt. If no marriage, then she may pursue child support through a Paternity Action, which will probably involve DNA testing. Then you may or may not be liable for child support.
