Yes if the citizen is the biological father of the minor child. The status of the foreign national person is not relevant when the issue is child support.
However, the undocumented immigrant will be required to report their status to USCIS and follow the procedures that are required by U.S. Immigration laws. A person who is within the jurisdiction of the U.S. is, regardless of the situation may be subject to deportation and/or imprisonment.

Child support for illegal children?
Child support for illegal children can be difficult. A court order is required to enforce child support payments, and this depends on the parent being a legal immigrant with a legal job to collect from.
