There are two answers to this, a legal one and a practical one.
Legal first: the court may not impose a duty on the new wife to support the child, any more than they could walk out of the courthouse, grab a random passerby, and order them to pay the child support.
However: In the absence of a prenuptial agreement to the contrary, money earned by either spouse is usually considered to be held in common. So while the court can't order her specifically to pay the child support, they very definitely can order him to pay it, or go to jail and have his assets seized.
That leads us to the practical answer that if he can't or won't get a job then it may just be easier all around for her to pay it. This obligation would, of course, cease when she comes to her senses and divorces the deadbeat herself.
