If a Man impregnates an un-wed Mother with children, is he than legally responsible for ALL the children or is he simply just responsible for the child he Fathered?

legally obligated to the one that is yours until the age of 18. If you wed the mother and adopt the other children, then it would be the same as if they were biologically yours.

Does the man know definately he is the biological father?
My suggestion is for him to get a court ordered paternity test.
Don't take her word for it because she may be trying to trap him for numerous reasons.
He should know without a doubt that he's the father, not just think so because "it looks like him." Many mistakes have been made by a man being passive in making such a bold step to protect all involved. This is a lifetime committment and why support another man's child?
Also if the child grows up believing this is its father when in reality he isn't, what kind of devistation might that cause the child? Anyone care about that?
If he is proven the biological father then take it from there. He is then responsible for supporting that child only, unless he has legally adopted the others.
If he is not the father, then everyone can cut their losses and wise up.
The carelessness of taking such risks is devistating, heartbreaking and sometimes causes irrepairable damage to all involved. This doesn't just effect the man, woman and child. This sort of thing effects all family members.
At the very least you owe it to the child to get the facts, NOW.
Good luck to all.

He is only legally responsible for the child he helped to create. The natural father of the other children is responsible for them. Good luck and God Bless.
