Q: My husband and I are getting married next month. Im the only one working do i have to pay child support?
He has 4 other kids with 4 other woman. He dont have a job and he is incarcerated. He does not plan on working for the rest of his life. I always work. Will I end up paying child support? If I end up paying child support is there anyway I can have custody if the child if the Mother is living off the government?
A: In Utah, a spouse is not liable for a new spouse's child support obligation. It is unlikely that you can obtain custody of a step child on the basis that the natural mother with custody of the children is living on government support. You will need to consult with a Georgia lawyer to learn more about what it might take for you to obtain custody of a step child. Best wishes.
