every state is different (slightly) about child support, but i dont think so. contact your local legal aid office; they are in every state and most counties. they go on a sliding scale so its free to most. look in the phone book or call the county court clerks office and ask for it. if no luck, call your state bar assoc and ask for it.
here are some links for you; just click on your state and find the subject you want.
here is a link for child support calulator (for all states) online. just fill in the fields and you will know.
the last few links are for you... to help.
stay strong and stand your ground. your baby depends on you to be so...for no one else is your childs advocate but you (you dont see anyone else standing up for them do you? NOPE).

If you file for child support they will look at his income but if he does not have a steady income or he has a business that does not have the same profits every year. Then they definately look at his spouses income and in some cases will garnish her wages if he is not working or between jobs. Being married means her income is his too.

No. It's only his income and since you were not married at the time, you are not entitled to any alimony, just child support depending on his income alone, good luck,

no only his but chances are since he is married they will look at her income to see what amount of his money they will give you so they can both survive still.

No. She is not responsible for the children. The parents are.
