I answered your question the best I could a minute ago. Basically, your new wife isn't responsible directly, but her income makes you more secure financially and better able to pay child support.

No, she is not responsible for paying child support, but her income could increase your obligation to your child's parent.

Your wife isn't responsible for your child support, and at the end of the year when income taxes come up, if you two file together they will take her part as well if you owe any child support. So if you do file together, you need to file an , 'Injured spouse' claim with her name on it, so you will get some of your income tax back. This tells the I.R.S. that her income is part of the taxes, but "not" part of any child support owed.

If you don't want your wife income's used to increase child support, you'll have to make a prenuptial agreement before marrying her.

No, the kid is your so you are responsible. Although she will be sharing the income with you so indirectly, she will be paying for child support. But the bottom line is, the kid is your so you have to pay.
