Yes. Your child is your financial responsibility, and the fact that others are forcing the state to support other children does not relieve you of your obligation. State laws govern the determination of the INDIVIDUAL financial needs of offspring, and you should advise your counsel if you feel your support is being inflated by the costs of maintaining children not your own.

If by your state laws, you are obligated to pay beyond high school, than you can request that your payments go directly to the children, PLUS file a motion that the amount the residential parent was obligated to spend on the children, also be sent to them. In a Missouri case, when the child took up residence with her boyfriend, while away at college, and was no longer living with the mother, the mother was obligated to pay her part, based on the child support guidelines, to the daughter. The mother lost on appeal. It was her belief that only the father should be obligated. With two child support payments, the daughter was getting $1800 a month for living expenses.See related link below
