No. Church law specifically states that children born of a marriage which has been declared null are legitimate and remain legitimate (canon 1137). This is a greatly misunderstood point. The decision of a Church Tribunal has no effect on civil norms that govern child support, visitation rights, and the legitimacy of children. Just as a civil divorce or a civil annulment do not make children illegitimate, neither does a Church declaration of nullity.
