No. If the parents are living together the law assumes they taking care of the needs of their minor child/children (at least one would hope that is the case).
To clarify, if you mean a woman has had an affair and become pregnant? If this is the case, and the husband is aware of it, he can order a paternity test to determine if the child is his or not. If it is not, as far as I know, the woman can go after the man who fathered the child for financial support. Support obligations only belong to the actual biological father OR a father who has legally adopted a child. There is a whole moral issue though - if the parents are staying together, does the husband want to alienate this child by not supporting it and how would he live in the same house and not support it? So really it depends on if the couple stays together. If they don't, the husband has NO obligation to support the child.
No, she has no way to collect. Child support is determined both by the husbands ability to pay and the woman's need. For example- if your husband makes $40k a year and the woman doesn't work, the court would order the woman to work 40 hrs/week to support her own child and she'd have to furnish proof to the court that she was doing that. An illegal alien doesn't have the ability to do that- they have no social security number and pay no taxes. They can't have a legal job- therefore, she wouldn't have any ground to stand on in a family court.
The biological father is the legal father. The husband is not the father unless he decides he wants to claim that title and wants to raise this child. Slim to none on that one. More likely you are going to be a single parent, so go after the bio dad for child support. He owes his child that.
No. Only the parents support the child, not the step parents. What you make will have no impact on how much he has to pay in child support. Even if you marry this woman that will not change.
Yes. The best example I've seen of this involved a 27 year old Michigan man ordered to pay 14 years in retroactive child support in 1997. The woman he was having a relationship with at age 12 was married, so when she got, she assumed the boy could not be the father due to his age. Fifteen years later, her husband filed for divorce and custody. She countered by stating that he may not be the father of the child. Paternity found that he was not, however by making this claim, she could not receive child support from him, so she filed against the bio dad and was awarded $85,000 based on his average earnings at the time of the filing. The fact that the child had been supported by another man during those years was not a consideration. This is one of the problems with having an affair with a married woman. This can come back you bite the man up to 23 years later. see link below
no, but he needs to get it modified see links below
If you're the noncustodial parent, you might be liable. The fact that your husband has a child by someone else is irrelevant to this.
No
This begs the question, "Why would you?" and perhaps, "How is it any of their business?" Supposing it was it was any of their concern however. You would simply look them in the face and say, "My husband has a child by another woman."
You have no legal rights relating to your husband's child with another woman. You have not explained your interest in this matter. You can step forward as a concerned adult and offer to care for the child but your guardianship must be approved by the court.You have no legal rights relating to your husband's child with another woman.

The issue would be adultery, but not who she was with.
Of course not, but keep in mind that the children of a married woman are presumed to be those of her husband unless/until proven otherwise.
He could very well be arrested as he has failed to pay the support money, he shold pay then have a wife and child.
iN vIRGINIA, THE BABY BORN TO A MARRIAGE IS CONSIDERED THE HUSBAND'S CHILD, SO IF THE REAL FATHER WANTS THE BABY , IT IS UP TO THE HUSBAND AND THE COURT. aS FOR COLLECTING CHILD SUPPORT FROM THE HUSBAND, i ASSUME HE IS NOT LIVING WITH THE MOTHER, THERE IS SOMETHING KNOWN AS DNA TESTING THAT THE JUDGE WILL USE.
You have no rights in the paternity suit. You ARE NOT biologically involved. The only rights you have is if you want to divorce your husband for adultery and if you have any children with him, for support/alimony.
I suggest you file a motion in court to declare the existence of father/child relationship. Be prepared to pay child support and confront a very angry husband!
