I am assuming they were never married. A name on a birth certificate does not establish paternity. If he did not sign a paternity affidavit, then paternity is still not established unless he has admitted it in some court proceeding or done genetic testing and was declared, officially in a proceeding or administrative proceeding to be the father. If paternity has not been established then he is not "legally" the father. If he is not legally the father then he has no obligation to pay support.
