I'M in the same situation. I was told that the spouse is not held responsible for your child even if she is married to your child's father and he isn't supporting the child. Eventually he will get locked up and his license will get suspended.AnswerNo, you have no legal obligation to support the biological child of your spouse. However, depending upon what state you live in, property owned jointly can be subject to a lien or seizure for back support payments. Whether or not a marriage took place between the biological parents is irrelevant when it pertains to the support of the child/children. That is based on the assumption that paternity was established to the satisfaction of the court or the father voluntarily accepted the parental obligations.
