He is responsible for the child support, not you. If he has to pay child support this is issued by the court. Your earnings can not be garnished and if he is unable to pay then his ex will have to take him back to court. The problem here is him...if HE askes you for the money to pay chid support...or, if because of the child support he cant pay other bills...leaving you, to pay them...it all comes out of the same pockets. However, millions of men are paying child support, when the child reaches age, it stops. If he is earning a good income there really isnt anything to worry about. You are a team with him...all this needs to be discussed with him before you get married.

Your income is not included in the calculations. If it is someone at child-support services has messed up bigtime. If you deposit your paychecks in same account they can garnish all the money in those accounts. So to avoid this problem have separate bank accounts where your paycheck isn't going into the same account as his.
That's what happened to me once, when i was married, they garnished all but like 12% of the balance of my joint checking account and that took my wife's money too. After that we had separate checking accounts.
I'm divorced now, all children over 18

In most US States the calculation of child support is based solely on the parent's income, not their spouse's. This does vary by state.
There is usually an explanation of how a particular state's child support is calculated on the state's website. It would be in courts and is sometimes called family law.
Your spouse is responsible for child support payments whether he or she is employed or not. How the two of you decide to make his payments is up to the two of you.
Bear in mind that your spouse's child is the half-sibling of the child the two of you have. The better off the other parent is the better off it is for that child and all family units involved.

No hun, your income - or as a matter of fact, nothing about you comes into play. They will never attach your wages, you stay out of it. The only way it affects you is if you get married and for some reason they would take part of his income tax b/c of back support. Hope I helped.

For sure, your taxes can be taken. The state will garnish any back child support with your taxes.

I say check with an lawyer. Most states in the US are community property states. Meaning his debt is your debt and vice versa...Don't go by what people are saying on Yahoo Answers...call an attorney, it's too important to guess.

dont know where you live but in the UK they would not take your money if he could not pay, but your money is taken into account in the calculation unfortunatly... even if you only lived together this would be the case.

while they cant touch ur money----by marrying him your finances will automatically become part of the equation---how? say the court orders for whatever reason more money to be paid? then what happens? ahhhh guess! seems like he has a lot of baggage.
