Do you have to pay for back child support if your children are now adopted by their stepfather?

I'm assuming you mean by a stepparent? No, but you may not know they have been adopted. In Missouri, when you've had no contact with the children, whether by choice or denial of access, for six months, the child can be adopted with notification or approval. If you haven't filed an enforcement action, which most fathers cannot afford to do, you may not learn for months or years about the adoption.

In the state of Massachusetts if a biological father is unaware of a child and the child is adopted by his stepfather is the bio dad responsible for any back child support?
Well if the Bio father is unaware of the baby then I don't believe he has to pay child support because the mom decided that the father didn't need to know about the child and if the child is adopted (like me) either by a step dad or by a different set of parent AND the father know about the child Then the father would need to pay back child support.
Do a man have to pay child support if he have 9 kids?
Yes. It does not matter how many children someone has fathered, one still has to pay for child support for all his children. However, in many states, child support PER CHILD is reduced because of the number of children a parent has to support. However, the total amount paid will be higher. Also, a father does not have to pay child support if his parental rights were terminated and the child was adopted by someone else.
