 both parents pay to support the child. if the child primarily resides with one parent the non-custodial parent should pay an amount to the custodial parent for the care feeding and upbringing of the child.
if they are not sure how much to pay they can go to court and get a court ordered amount....

 In short , yes. Until the daughter is 18, or 21 in some Indian states or circumscriptions or what's-their-name.
Check sec.-125.Cr-PC , a guy can go to jail if he does not pay the child maintenance ordered by the Court.
Also check section 26 of Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 and Hindu Minority and Guardianship Act,1956 in case he got married under HMA. Otherwise Guardians and Wards Act, 1890, applies.
The fact that's a female daughter , then, makes it more clear cut. Under HMA, if the child were a boy over the age of 5 , the father could apply for sole custody ,( therefore stop paying child support to the mother ) and , while it's still not statutory , 99% of cases the court would give it to him . ( Don't ask , Aunts - in India they have some weird laws ). But if it's a girl, she stays with mom. Go figure .
What you are probably referring to, is the fact that generally the Courts do not assign alimony to a CHILDLESS ex wife if she works and she makes, say, at least 40% -50% of what her ex husband makes.
But if there are children, obviously both parents have to contribute according to their financial capacity, with the one financially sounder paying more than the economically weaker one. So, of course it will be different whether your relative's ex wife mops floors for a living or is a Bollywood star, and based on that the court will judge if her request is appropriate or needs to be adjusted.
But , that he's got to pay, that's for sure. Single or remarried, it does not change.

 If they didn't have a child then I would say he doesn't need to pay her any money at all regardless of whether or not the ex-wife is working.
As they do have a child, it is definitely his responsibility to give the ex-wife money if she has custody of the daughter whether or not the ex-wife has a job. Think about it this way. It isn't the ex-wife who is receiving the money, but the daughter that your relative helped to create. The daughter should be receiving money for as long as she is a minor in your country. That is your relative's responsibility as a father. It is his responsibility even if he marries again and has more children.

The mother should always receive Money from the Child's father to provide for the child. Just because the mother has a job doesn't mean the father should not help provide. They made the child together, both co parent and provide for the child.

The child is half his responsibility and he should help pay for that child until she is old enough to support herself. Him getting remarried is also irrelevant. His child doesn't stop needing food, clothing and shelter because he has a new wife does she?
