You need to request the court make a support order, custody order and visitation order to avoid any problems over the children. The children should be made to suffer as little as possible and should have access to both parents.Added: Florida is one of the states that, by law, declares the "spouse" as the responsible parent for child support, REGARDLESS of who the actual biological father may be. However, being unmarried, you may have to request that the court order a DNA test of the alleged father in order to support your claim for child support against him.
you have no idea how many times these rules are reversed, father's paying and not getting to see the children. your concern should be for the best interest of the children. they deserve to have a relationship with their father. If the father is blatantly not seeing the children over a period of time, file a motion to modify the visitation schedule and a motion for contempt, for nonpayment of support. you see, this is not a moral question but a legal one.
Of course. Even if she is remarried the father is still the father of the children and legally responsible for their support. She should file a petition for child support in the local family court.Of course. Even if she is remarried the father is still the father of the children and legally responsible for their support.

The state will not pay child support. The state may grant TANF and/or medical assistance to the child/custodial parent if they are indigent. If so, or at the CP's request, the state will attempt to collect the past-due support.
no
If the children live with their mother in Florida and the father never established his paternity legally, a Georgia court would have no jurisdiction over the children. Their mother has sole legal custody. If the father wants to establish his "parental rights" he will need to establish his paternity where the children are domiciled. Once he has established that he is their father he can request joint custody or a visitation order and the mother can request a child support order if the children are to remain in her physical custody.If the parties want to make the change in custody by consent of the parties he should consult with an attorney to determine how that can be accomplished.If the children live with their mother in Florida and the father never established his paternity legally, a Georgia court would have no jurisdiction over the children.

The father does, since the mother is paying her share towards the children in the form of child support.
No. They still are his children.
The parent would get support from the children's father--only while the children are in her custody as minors.
No
No, the father has to pay child support for both children. Of course the child that decides to live with him will be treated as he/she were when you were both married, but the child you have will still continue to receive child support by law!
You can't. Child support is court ordered and family services handles payments. The money is to support children your father has produced. It is his obligation to pay the support.
