Best Answer

A spouse is almost never required to directly pay a new spouse's child support. However, depending on the state, a new spouse may be indirectly forced to pay. For example, they may not be able to garnish your pay check, but they can take money from a joint bank account, a joint tax refund, a joint loan, and basically any sort of financial asset that has both of your names on it.

Some states also calculate child support based on "household" income. When you move in with your new spouse, your income is added to theirs and that new, larger amount is then used to calculate a larger monthly child support payment. Some states expressly forbid this though, so again, it depends on the state that child support was ordered in.

Can develop the love of a forced marriage?

Yes you can. I have been in a forced marriage. If you are friends with the guy first it does help. As a wife you have to care for her husband, it is natural to start to have feelings for him and this might develop into love. My opinion though, forced marriages is not the best situation to be in. Something where you can decide and with your partner is better.


Can I be forced to pay my husband's child support from his previous marriage?

Stepparents are not responsible for their stepchildren. You are not responsible for your husband's child(ren). However, to collect unpaid support, the State may place liens on real and personal property, including bank accounts, even though you are a joint owner.
