Unless you adopted your wife's children, you should not be required to support them after the divorce.
Will you have custody or not?
The complaint for divorce, or petition, will ask if there are minor children. You will answer "no". The court wants to know if child support and custody will be factors in the issues that must be addressed.
none except standardized visitation.
yes, Vanna White was awarded custody of both children
Ordinarily, a trial court will enter "temporary orders" for custody, visitation, and child support, while the divorce is pending.

There are no longer laws requiring a cause for a divorce in America, and whoever gets custody of the kids should get child support, though this does not mean it will be the parent who was cheated on. Also, the man may not be the father of the children born in the marriage.
It should be addressed in the divorce and custody arrangement. If not, it is a matter of frequent dispute. Generally, the custodial parent...but if the other is actually providing the majority of financial support, an argument can be made for them.
I am a paralegal for the state of South Carolina. Here a judge must state if there are children of the marriage union in the divorce decree. Of course it does, that is a highly relevant issue that would need to be addressed(custody,support, visitation etc) during the proceeding.
Yes it can. Custodial orders as well as child support orders can be established after a divorce and does not have to be included in divorce papers, although it is more common to do so.
It has a BIG effect. If you want a divorce without children you can get it fast and easy. When there is children involved it takes the determination of custody, child support, visitation and parenting time. There is a lot more to go through when kids are involved plus how it will mentally effect the children.
Yes, if the father is not given custody he will be obligated to keep paying support to whomever the court awards custody or guardianship of the children.
