The parents of illegitimate children shall pay alimony. According to the law, children born out of wedlock should be given alimony, because children born out of wedlock have the same rights as children born in wedlock. The natural father or mother who does not directly support children born out of wedlock should bear the living and education expenses of the children. If the natural father or natural mother does not support the illegitimate child, the illegitimate child may bring a suit in a people's court.
 Children born out of wedlock refer to children born before the establishment of marriage or out of wedlock, such as children born after illegal cohabitation, premarital sexual behavior, cohabitation, adultery and even rape. Although children born out of wedlock are the product of illegal marriage, children are innocent, and their legal status, rights and obligations are the same as those of children born in wedlock.
 [Legal Basis]
 Article 1085 of the Civil Code states that if a child is directly supported by one party after divorce, the other party shall bear part or all of the maintenance fees. The number of expenses to be borne and the length of the time limit shall be agreed by both parties; If the agreement fails, the people's court shall make a judgment.
 The agreement or judgment mentioned in the preceding paragraph shall not prevent children from making reasonable demands to either of their parents when necessary in excess of the amount originally set in the agreement or judgment.
