There really isn't enough information here to answer. In the common law cases I've seen (which are from Oklahoma, every state is different) the child has to be from the common law marriage, not the previous. If there was a child before the common law marriage, I would be surprised to see child support ordered for it from a step-parent who wasn't even legally married to the other parent. Now, if you were in a common law, and lets say the wife got pregnant, she could file for divorce and child support/alimony depending on the situation. Best bet, find a lawyer who doesn't charge for an initial visit.

If a child's legal parent dies and there is no other legal parent and your the step parent it sounds like.You can file for social security benefits.Now if these children still have a biological parent alive you can collect child support from them.You need to see an attorney to get the right answers according to the state you live in.

You can only collect child support from the legal parent, whether that's biological or adoption. A husband that does not fit one of the two categories doesn't have to pay.

I don't really understand your question, but I think you're asking if you, the widow, can collect child support from your live-in boyfriend, and the answer is no. They are not his children, there is nothing for him to pay unless he WANTS to pay. But you certainly cannot take him to court to try to collect child support from him.

Maybe. Check with your state. But I'd also be checking with Social Security. The kids should beable to collect on the dead parents social security.

i do no longer likely see it as a egocentric area of do, pondering the only guy or woman i replaced into thinking approximately on the relatives contributors relatives place of work replaced into our son. i replaced into 15 years previous and dealing to help my son, why shouldn't his sixteen 3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous father could desire to try this very same? Oh wait, he did no longer. he's not legally in charge till he's eighteen. no longer all women folk receiving toddler help are on welfare. it is an fairly dumb assumption. I figured if my son's father wasn't going to bodily be a element of his life, he could desire to a minimum of pay financially. My son's dad replaced into very close to to going to reformatory for nonpayment. i could no longer bare telling our son (6 years previous on the time) that he could no longer visit his dad's abode this weekend as a results of fact he replaced into in reformatory. So I went to the financial business enterprise, made a withdrawal from my toddler help account, and gave it to him to pay the courts. We closed our case and desperate to make it a private affiliation. i think i will purely talk for myself yet my son under no circumstances knew something approximately toddler help, and nonetheless does not. To me, it had no longer something to do with the relatively money. It replaced into approximately looking after your toddler, one way or yet another.

No. I am pretty sure though that you can file for social security benefits for the children but you may have to go to court to obtain legal custody of the children.
