…can that child live with this Muslim while this Muslim is paying for the child’s living and educational expense and providing the child moral and social support?

Islamically yes, if parda is observed AND he has no rights to inheritance.

these are the core issues in Islam. Islam protects a the children’s rights of inheritance. in our part of the world, you often hear that the parents ne aulaad ko aaKh kar diyaa…this denial of inheritance to your children [because he/she has hurt his parents physically/emotionally/socially] has NO place in Islam and it’s illegal.
