The way the laws are set up its to protect (and care for) the child:
If belcher wasnt the father by paternity, but raised the child as his, than he will still pay child support. Even if his name isnt on the birth certificate. This can be the case even without a formal marriage or common law marriage. If a court deems that a man has taken on the fatherly responsibilities for a child than he is on the hook b/c it is in the best interest of the child.
There have been plenty of instances where men have to pay spousal support even in cases of infidelity before and during the marriage if he is the primary bread-winner.
