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.

If you had no children during marriage is she entitled to alimony?

Not being an attorney, this answer will be from a layman's view, until improved by someone more knowledgable. Generally, the law[s] of the state where you live determine the answer to this question. However, I think there is a difference [at least in some states] between alimony, and child support. Child support IS for children, but alimony is support for a spouse, and under some state laws can be required to be paid by either spouse, depending on the couple's financial circumstances.
