the court looks at it like this... ur kids are urs right and u pay 300 a week for them. ok ur new wife should be getting support from her kids dad. just like ur ex gets it from u. so they dont count hers. and as for ur child with the new wife. the court looks at it. hmmm this fool has 3 by 1st wife, and step kids now he must be wealthy cause look hes having new kids. not to sound mean but they really look at it like that. ur new wife needs to make her children father pay for his just like u do. and look into it see if u can have ur childsupport reduced. they only allowed so much of ur pay check. a certain %. good luck and way to go being a man and paying for ur children. so many PARENTS dont that should..

Because in theory the step children should be receiving support of some sort from there biological father.But that is the theory and there are a lot of dead beats who just don't pay anything.So much for that theory.
You can file a motion with the courts to reduce the amount paid.Have all your bills and all expenses ready to show.If your stepchildren DONT receive support then get paper work started on collecting from him and show the court where the biological father owes but does not pay.There are no excuses and its not fare for you to shoulder the burden of all these children.You didn't make them all.
If all else fails, remember this..they do grow up and at 18 or when they quit school or graduate your will be done with that obligation.

Since you are the father and since you brought these
children into the world it's part of your responsibility to
take care of them and just because you are in a relation-
ship with someone else who has children it is not any of
the children's fault that you now have more children to
take care of, it's the fact of life and you can't do anything
about it but to accept it. Seems to me when one does not
want to pay for something then they should not do the
action that caused them to be paying for it now. , But
since the deed is done well enough said.

Because they are your biological children, your step children are not. Their father should be paying child support for them. As for your new child you are not ordered by the court to pay because you are still with the mother

i know it doesn't seem fair, but the way they look at it is this: the ones who came first , gets paid for first.
if your finances have changed you could always go back to court about it.
when my husband was sick and couldn't work they cut his child support out until he could find a job.

Have your attorney file a lifestyle adjustment claim.
