I checked for more info that may be helpful:
For persons born on or after November 14, 1986, a person is a U.S. citizen if
all of the following are true:
1) One of the person's parents was a U.S. citizen when the person in question was born;
2) The citizen parent lived at least 5 years in the United States before his or her child's birth; and
3) At least 2 of these 5 years in the United States were after the citizen parent's 14th birthday.
A person's record of birth abroad, if registered with a U.S. consulate or embassy, is proof of his or her citizenship. Such a person may also apply for a passport or a Certificate of Citizenship to have a record of his or her citizenship. Such documentation is often useful to prove citizenship in lieu of the availability of an American birth certificate.
Different rules apply for persons born abroad to one U.S. citizen before November 14, 1986. United States law on this subject changed multiple times throughout the twentieth century, and the law as it existed at the time of the individual's birth controls.

This info on the otherhand sounds like the boy would be considered a US citizen. If so, I would have to believe you could file for child support based upon the above criteria in a US court of law.
Hope this helps in some way!
