No. A child cannot be held responsible for the actions of their parents.

Exception to the rule: If the children are heirs of an estate (both parents are deceased) and taxes are outstanding, then the taxes must be paid out of the estate proceeds before the child(ren) could be awarded the residuals.

Probably not - in general, child support is a percentage of the obligor's net income. A new spouse, whether married to the obligee or obligor, should not increase or decrease the child support obligation. As one of the child's parents, you are liable for at least a minimal amount of support regardless of the obligee's resources.
