What are the legal obligations for child support if two individuals have a child together but are not married?

In the United States, both parents are legally obligated to financially support their child, even if they are not married. This typically involves one parent paying child support to the other parent to help cover the costs of raising the child. The amount of child support is determined based on factors such as each parent's income and the needs of the child. Failure to pay child support can result in legal consequences.
