I'm about 99% sure the answer is going to be no. It would all depend on what state the "custodial" parent lives in. Some states do not have child support, as child support is a state thing and not a federal.
If the mother is not here legally, the courts won't do anything about child support from her. She is not officially a resident of the U.S. The day she goes to court to set the child support she will more than likely be arrested and deported back where she came from if anyone from the court staff knew that she was from another country. Hopefully that is what they would do to her.

A child not born in the US...and a child born to a father and mother who are not citizens...are not subject to child support
enforcement, I would not think. However, if the mother meets
certain criteria in certain states, such as having permanent resident alien status, the mother may be able to get state aid
based on absence of the father. In this case, the father would
have to pay child support to the state agency at least for the period of time aid was being received - by garnishment of
wages.

you should ask an attorney.
what does it mean "does not have legal working status"?
If it means you have a green card or visa while waiting for a green card but have not yet received authorization to work then the answer is almost certainly yes. If it means no legal standing in the country, for example over stayed a visa or never had one then it is a lot more complicated.
As long as the father has a social security number and pays taxes on his income you can take him to court, the amount is usually dependent on his income.

be careful with this you see if the mother does not have legal working status and the child is living with her than the father will get custody of the child and he will not have to pay any child support but she will. Don't press it unless you talk to a lawyer.

not enough information is the child's mother a US citizen, or legal resident. Is the father a US citizen or legal resident. Is he taxed by the US government? if yes then yes.
