Answer

Alimony in New York is divided into spousal alimony and child support. You are asking about child support. Generally child support is a percentage of your income from all sources and for one child its 17 percent. In addition you may be liable for child's medical and educational expenses.

As to paternity establishment, it can be done in a place where the child resides unless other places would accept jurisdiction.
