No, but they may raise or lower the amount of support he has to pay based on the householed income. They will consider both incomes if the mother requests a change but only he is legally responsible for the debt.....also, they can take your tax return money if you file jointly as a married couple for any back support or if he is not paying up.

Newsflash!
Garnishments are NON-TRANSFERABLE.
Just because your soon-to-be husband HAS TO BE GARNISHED to fully pay for the child he created with another woman, doesn't mean that you are legally responsible for his obvious immaturity and trifling ways.
You know -- your question smacks of so much foolishness, that I might pose a question for you:
Why the hell do you want to marry a man who can't pay for the babies he creates? I mean, my goodness, if he has to have his pay garnished for his BORN CHILDREN, how he gon' pay for the unborn ones y'all gonna have together?
This whole situation is OUT OF ORDER!
AS IF!!
There are too many curbs in America waiting for trifling men like that.

No they can not, but they can take in effect your wages to come up with the right child support amount. Meaning the could raise it if they wanted to. They entire household is taken into consideration but only taken from his wages.

Well, I would think so, why would you marry someone who does not think enough of his children to pay child support? You are legally responsible for his debts now! Child support is a debt...so

Depends on the state and if it is back pay or regular child support. They can take your taxes if back child support is owed or if he is suppose to pay a portion of his taxes to child support.

No. Although they can-and will-take any back child support from your taxes. Sucks but then it's over-assuming he's not that far behind.

YES THEY CAN! Especially in the state of Missouri where I live. You being his wife makes you equally responsible for him pre-marital Debts or obligations. Some states my very so please check with a local attorney before making any decisions.

No, this is a court judgment against him, not you.
But if his income goes up, his ex may take him back to court for more money.

Yes it can but I think it depends on where you live. I know here in Canada they do that!

No I dont believe they can, that is his responsibility. They can at tax time take out for it if he is behind.
