Q: Is second wife legally obligated to pay back child support
The new wife has come into inheritance, husband wants wife to pay arrearage and supposedly she signed some sort of agreement to pay the back support. I believe husband is trying to get his mother to pay, or give him money. He spouts off
to his mother about community property and his wife should pay. I have never heard of such a thing, is this possible ???
Just want to make sure my friend is not being taken to the cleaners. I say he has a moral obligation to take care of this himself and not take advantage of his wife's inheritance, new wife agree's money was left to her and not meant to pay his responsibility .
A: The new wife is not legally obligated to pay to support her husband's children from a previous relationship; he is. I can't tell you whether it would be so in a community property state; Florida is not a community property state.
