All children are legally entitled to financial support from both of their parents. It does not matter whether the parents are married to each other.
A parent, whether married to the other parent or not, can go to court to get a child support order.
The only difference between getting a child support order where the parents are married and where they are not married is the kinds of court papers you file.
