The ex is not actually paying child support to the current girlfriend unless there is a court order stating that he must due to location or other circumstances. If there is a legal agreement in place stating that he must pay child support to both children, then yes your child support amount may go down. If he does not have an order stating that his payment amount to you changed, then he is legally obligated to pay the amount previously stated on the order.

If there was no order and he was just paying support, then he can change the amount at any time. By your verbiage of saying "owed" I am assuming that you have a court order stating the amount required each month.

Can you marry your girlfriend without adopting her children?

Yes, you have a choice.You do not have to adopt your girlfriend's children in order to marry her. Some men will adopt their girlfriend's children so they will have the last name and it won't be so confusing for the children, but that is entirely up to you and your girlfriend. However, even if the biological father is paying child support then you would still have to provide good quality time with her children; help educating the children, etc. You are just not marrying your girlfriend, but also her children and you will be their step-father. Do not enter into this marriage with the idea it is all about you and your girlfriend .. the children come with the package and are a responsibility to both of you.
