As long as his child is a minor then yes, he will have to pay back child support. Take him to court! Remarried or not if the courts deemed him to pay child support he must do so (married or not) until that child is no longer a minor.
To get this straight you are asking if a man had a child not to his wife, would his wife have to pay any child support for that child that is not hers? No she does not have to pay, the man does, but in saying that if the amount is direct credited out of the mans bank account that is in joint names with the wife then it seems she is paying, and in a way she is paying if you do share all finances as husband and wife she misses out on the money that the man must pay for child support.
I believe unless the child is adopted by the stepparent, then they are not obligated to pay child support. Child support is court mandated to the specific parent, not to the parent's new spouse. I would bring up the lack of child support to the courts. As far as I know, they can pull money directly from the parent's employment checks. Discuss it with your attorney for more information.
Women should not longer share assets with the husband upon marriage. Even if there is no owed child support at the time of the marriage, at any time he could get hit with a retroactive child support order of tens of thousands of dollars for a child he never knew existed. At that point, all assets are forfeit.
When you get married, all your assets are shared. This means any money either partner owes will be paid from those shared assets.
Uh, not exactly. The newly-married couple must decide whether to combine their assets. Even if they do so, the new spouse isn't responsible for child support.
Usually no, but unfortunalty some states consider a husband and wife equally responsible for each others mistakes. Find out if Texas is one of them. I forget the technical name of it, sorry.
Don't get married or discuss the issue with an attorney who specializes in hiding assets from spouses.
if your legally married when you file bankruptcy, you must include every single asset including the spouses. depends on what type of bk you file. you may be able to keep your assets.
Indiana currently does not have any laws that support any kind of spousal support. During a divorce the amount of the marital assets owed to each party is decided by the Judge after hearing from both sides during the hearing. Property or assets that are in only one party's name are automatically awarded to that party, unless exceptionally circumstances exist to warrant it going to the other party, such a vehicle being awarded to the custodial guardian of the children instead of the documented owner.
yes
Spouses are not responsible for their spouses' children. However, the State can and will place liens on assets to collect child support, so the spouse could end up losing money if s/he is a joint owner of those assets.See links below
