No because it's not your child.
If your husband owes back child support and you file taxes jointly then the state can take your refund to apply towards the back pay.

First of all the word is MARRIED not MERRIED, Merry has an entire different meaning than MARRY does.
Secondly, it depends upon what state you live in. Some states DO factor in a 2nd spouses income when deciding child support.

No. Federal and state laws prohibit taking money from a non-custodial parent's paycheck. Your spouse (fiance?) will be the only one to have money pulled from his paycheck.
And, just to be clear, the previous poster was also wrong about the joint tax return. The federal government cannot withhold your share of a joint tax return. How they calculate "your share" of the tax return can be up for debate, so it's probably a good idea to consult with a tax advisor to see if filing separate tax returns makes sense for you.

Well technically it is not your personal debt, but it's got to come out of his (or her) money, which is part of your household money. They CANNOT take your spouse's child support out of your check.

nothing will come out of your check but the debt will become marital debt by marriage but will primarily be your spouses responsibility

Sure does and this is why you have to think very carefully about another relationship, before diving in head first. So now ask yourself are you both going to be able to afford it, if you marry him?. If no leave him now and say thanks, but no thanks and find someone more suitable. Good luck.

no you are not responsible for his children financially. this means that no judge can take your income into consideration when adjussting his support payment.

Yes. But then again, marrying a divorcee is also adultery. So why do it?

No, but it takes money out of you household budget, so indirectly, yes.

Yup.
Child support is determined by the house hold income and NOT JUST BY THE SPOUSES INCOME.
