Will I have to pay child support if my wife is pregnant? Why?
Asked on May 13th, 2015 on Child Custody - Wisconsin
More details to this question:
My wife and I are getting a divorce and she is 2 months pregnant. I told her to get an abortion because I do not want anything to do with this child but she refused. Will I still have to pay child support even though I am divorcing my wife early in her pregnancy?

Yes. If the child is yours, you are required to pay support. Your divorce will likely not be finalized until after the child is born so this can be calculated.

If the child is yours, you will be liable for child support.

Discuss this with your attorney, but you more than likely will have to pay child support if you are the father.

If you are the biological father, you will have to pay support and perhaps a portion of the costs of pregnancy.
