Only if she wants to keep you out of jail.

Technically, your new wife is not responsible for any children you may have had with your ex-wife or "baby momma". However, you are, and the court may impose sanctions if you fail to provide support. These sanctions will fall upon you, not upon your wife (except incidentally, in that most people would consider it a bit of a burden to have their husband carted off to jail).

In practice, courts tend to look on marriages as partnerships in most jurisdictions: the wife may earn money, and the husband may earn money, but all that money goes into one big "pot". The court doesn't really care who earned any specific dollar in the pot, they just care that money is coming out of the pot to support the child as mandated by the court order, and if it's not the husband is the one they'll directly punish.
