Maybe, if the affair involves cohabitation or some other form of significant financial support. Spousal support is typically limited to the time required for the ex-spouse to become self-supporting.

Can you file a lawsuit against your husband's lover if she is suing him for child support for a child born from the affair?

No. She has the legal right to sue for support if it has been proven he is the father of the child. The court can also order the male in question to take a paternity test if it is warranted.


What are the consequences for a father who doesn't pay child support?

Laws differ between states. If the support is court ordered, then he can lose his drivers license and/or be put in jail. He MUST pay the court ordered amount and if he doesn't make enough, he needs to get another job. Most states can attach his wages. Remarriage has no bearing on child support. But will have on spousal support. Laws differ between states. If the support is court ordered, then he can lose his drivers license and/or be put in jail.

How can i get child support from my ex and not make my child have to visit him?

You can't. The child has the right to be supported by her father and they both have the right to a relationship with each other. The father should pay child support and also have a regular visitation schedule.


Birth of another child affecting child support?

Yes, the birth of another child may affect child support. A filing should be made to recalculate the support amount based on this change of circumstance. Added: In Delaware, for example, parents are given a 'credit' for other minor children they are supporting that are not part of the filing. So, while the right to support may not be affected, the amount of support may be. Generally, the older child's right to support is not diminished by the birth of subsequent children.

How long do you give a spouse to let go of an affair?

There isn't a correct answer for this. If you are thinking about a time period then you have already forgiven him/her. Letting the person know how you feel and that he/she needs to end this is enough time for other person to stop it right away. If there isn't any children involved with the affair then it should be stop right away. Why should there be given any time.

Was it worth losing your marriage to have an an affair with another woman?

Sometimes two people that get married find they are not compatible with each other and fall out of love and if the man has an affair he may fall in love with the other woman and although cheating is not the right thing to do if he left his wife he does not love for the other woman then he made the right choice. If he still loves his wife then he has hurt her deeply by cheating with another woman and he could well have lost a wonderful and loving person over an affair. Often the other person in the affair is not all the married man thinks they are and he will be the one to pay the price.
