Yes, your ex-girlfriend, as the mother of your children, can request a modification of child support if there is a significant change in circumstances, such as your marriage to someone else. However, simply getting married does not automatically lead to an increase in child support; the court will consider factors like your financial situation, income, and the needs of the children before making a decision. It's essential to consult with a legal professional for specific guidance based on your circumstances.
he is not married but he does have a girlfriend
Generally, yes. Under the Federal guidelines, being married to someone else or not has no impact on child support payments.
If you are married to the mother, no. Then you share everything naturally. But if you have a child and you are separated or not married to the mother, and you do not have custody of the children, you have to pay child support
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.
The point of a girlfriend is to have someone to come home to, someone to rely on and someone to be there so you don't have to worry about trying to find someone to have sex with. Also girlfriends are there for support and to go to movies with and to eat dinner with and so that you're not lonely.
You can be held responsible for back child support. You may not be required to pay future support because the child is of age. Any support will have to be court ordered so consulting an attorney would be wise.
Through court.

Relationships are to get to know a certain someone (your spouse) better, and to have someone to lean on for support and to turn to when you have some problems.
