What happens to a father's child support payments when he has a new child with his new spouse?

Nothing. Having more children does not cancel his responsibility to his first child. He and his new wife will need to decide how they can afford to have another child while still supporting the one he already brought into the world. His new wife may need to keep working. If a father can't support a child he already has because he wants to have another he may need to reconsider expanding his family.

The obligor's spouse can use his/her money, if s/he wishes to do so. However, the spouse cannot be forced to make these payments.

if you are paying child support and have a new spouse, their income will not count toward child support unless the two of you have your own children together.
Do you pay taxes on child support if you have a high income bracket?
No Child support payments are neither deductible by the payer nor taxable to the payee.

Spousal support and child support debts cannot be discharged in a bankruptcy, so the ex spouse must continue to keep making the payments. Failure to do so can lead to a dismissal of the bankruptcy case.

Spousal support payments are not a "sure thing," which is a key element in a cash settlement. While the support/alimony is court-ordered it is not guaranteed, and there is no lender or settlement company that wish to engage in chasing down a spouse to secure payments that were assigned to you. You cannot assign the payments to a lender/settlement company.

If the dad's new spouse has liens or garnishments against her will it affect his child support?
I believe the intent of this question was to ask if a new spouse's wages can be garnished or property incumbered for the other's child support obligations. In which case the answer is maybe. Jointly owned property such as a home can have a lien placed in proportion to the amount belonging to the spouse who is responsible for support payments. Additionally, in most states joint marital bank accounts can be levied for child support. When this happens it is the "innocent spouse's" responsibility to petition the court with proof of the percentage of funds belonging to him or her. Joint tax refunds can be seized for child support arrearages with the "innocent spouse" again having to petition for his or her portion to be released. The good news such as it is, is his or her wages are not subject to direct garnishment action.
