Usually if a man wants to restore the marriage, it probably is genuine if he is prepared to do whatever is necessary to restore your trust in him. This includes staying away from the woman he was with, even if it means moving or changing jobs if financially possible. A willingness to attend counseling is another indicator, and doing so is often needed to deal with the emotional damage. You will also be able to tell by how caring he is to you over a period of time. It isn't necessary to live together while you go about fixing things and if you are apart it might make it easier to ascertain his real motives. After you have been cheated, it is very difficult trust again, so it isn't surprising that you would ask the question.
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 the legal right to sue for support if it has been proven he is the father of the child. The court can also order the male in question to take a paternity test if it is warranted.
The biological mother and the biological father. A spouse is not financially responsible for a child born of an affair outside of the marriage unless he/she chooses to take such responsibility. well actually in some states a child of a marriage is a child of the marriage and you will have to go to court and have your husband tested and then it is up to the judge if you can pursue the other man im going through it now in the state of VA
The law presumes that the husband is the father of a child conceived or born during a marriage, unless/until proven otherwise. So, the husband would have the same rights concerning that child as any other.
Yes, marriage emancipates a minor.
If the man she had the affair with wants to know if it is his child then yes, a paternity test should be done. This will tell whether the husband or the man she had the affair with is the father. If the father of the child wants to be part of his child's life then arrangements should be made for visitation rights, but, he should agree to help support his own child even if she stays with her husband. He might agree to be called 'uncle' so the child will not know that is his biological father This is a difficult situation and it will take the three of you to agree as to what will happen tin the future. It is quite possible that the man she had the affair with my not want anything to do with the child. If the wife and husband feel they can work it out in their marriage they should certainly try.

If your husband made one mistake in having an affair and has not cheated before that or after the affair then the child is part of him and also the biological mother. You have two options: #1 You can accept the child when and if he has custody of the child and make that child part of the whole family or #2 let him see his child if he wants too (he at least should pay child support) but see the child away from home. The decision will have to be discussed between you and your husband.
No, a man does not always get custody. If one of the people in a marriage has an affair, it is usually the person not having an affair that gets custody of the child or children.For example, if the husband is having an affair, and the wife wants a divorce, the woman (wife) would get the custody of the child or children, and not the man (husband). This is the same vice versa, too.
Leave him and her behind. If they wanted to be with each other they should have come to you and told you about their affair and not keep it in the dark. Seek a lawyers advice on divorce. Your marriage to me is not salvageable because of the length of the affair and the fact that there is now a love child involved.
Yes, but she can wait up to 18 years to file for retroactive child support. see related question
Are you asking if your previous husband ought to be legally responsible for supporting your children by your new husband?

If your husband has broken off the affair with the mistress then your husband should do the right thing and pay child support, but that does not mean you have to accept the child into the family. If the mistress does not want the child then it is up to you whether you want to help to raise that child. If your husband is still seeing his mistress then pack his bags and kick him out and either file for a separation or divorce.
If you're asking yourself whether you could have pushed your husband to have an affair with a married woman, the answer is "no." You simply do not have that power. Instead, it was a series of poor choices your husband made that most likely led to the affair. For instance, he decided to look outside the marriage for something he apparently needed. He decided to have an affair. He decided to ignore the marital vows of both your marriage, and those of the married couple's wife whom he had an affair with. So in short, don't blame yourself for your husband's behavior. He's not a child, and you are not responsible for his actions. That said, marital discord is very rarely, if ever, a single sided occurrence. Both parties are responsible for the maintenance of the marriage.
No. If your present husband is the father of the children of his previous marriage and is the custodial parent he would have to sue his ex-wife (the children's mother) for support.
The courts will determine the husband's ability to pay support and enter an order reflecting that; so, the answer to your question in a word is, probably, no.SEE LINKS BELOW
