Yes if he is your child, he has claim in your property and she can claim maintenance for herself and for the child as well. For detailed opinion, it is advisable that you consult a lawyer( Mohamaden Law expert) in person

as per muslim law, if the child actually belongs to you then he/she too shall have a share in your property however the share of an illegitimate is far less than that which would be inherited by a legitimate heir.
