Yes, if you were married. The laws are very against men. If you were married, all the children were born when you were marrried, and she cheated you are still condisered there father and have to pay. I know it makes no sense. The laws date back to the 1800's and NEED TO BE CHANGED.
In many states (and it may be in all states for all I know) a married man can challenge paternity as long as he does it *during the divorce process*. If he doesn't do it then, once the divorce is granted, he's out of luck. Even if the children are later proven (via a DNA test) not to be his, he still has to support them. Laws vary from state to state, so speak with an attorney.
The laws regarding this type of situation are slowly changing, because there are entirely too many men being forced to pay child support for children they were 'tricked' into believe were theirs, while the actual biological fathers never have to pay a dime.
Visitation and child support are separate issues. One does not depend on the other. Parents must provide support for their children. There are many variations in visitation rights and those do not generally affect child support obligations.Visitation and child support are separate issues. One does not depend on the other.

No. Illness and/or physical impairment does not relieve a parent the obligation to support his or her minor child/children. Even if said person is receiving SSD and/or some other type of disability benefits those benefits can be garnished for child support.
No. Where he lives or who with is not relevant and he paid child support for their kids before he moved in surely.Another PerspectiveYou can inquire at the family court with jurisdiction over your case. Ask to speak with an advocate. You seem to think that his keeping the child support order for those children in effect, while he resides with them, may affect your child support from him. You should be able to get an answer to that question from the court.His child support obligation for his first family may well affect the amount you receive for your child.
Only if the child support is past due from before the child was 18. child support is only paid up until the age of 18, there may be exceptions for those with children that have disabilities.
A default order is entered. That's why 30% of those currently paying child support are not the fathers of the children they are supporting.
The United Cerebral Palsy website offers support services to those with children who have Cerebral Palsy. They offer support and child care links, educations and help finding employment for those with the disability.
This child here, not that chikd there. Similarly, these children here, not those children over there.
This would make for an interesting case to observe and see how the judge applies the law in that 30% of those paying child support is on children not their own.
Of course! The amount of support will decrease per child, based on the number of children he is supporting. However, he will owe child support for each of his children that he is not the custodial parent of.Of course.
If the father provides more than 50% of the support for the child, he is entitled to claim the children on his taxes. Consult an attorney or contact Legal Aid (for free or low-cost legal advice)
No. Remarriage by a non custodial or custodial parent does not impact child support matters. In the US, the laws always uphold the rights of the first born child/children as opposed to those of a second marriage or relationship. The status of a non custodial parent's financial obligations to minor children does not change when he or she remarries.
No, child support is established to Support the Child. There are usually clauses within a Divorce decree or Separation agreement that indicate when Child Support stops -- usually at eighteen, or if the chidl marries, or if the child dies.
