No you do not need to be scared. It is her debt not yours and they can not attach it to you. You will need to file separate tax returns because if you get a return then they can take the money if you filed jointly and give to child support enforcement to the CP.
here is a web site that can help the two of you get started on some answers.

FBI papers? i don't think so. unless your wife is hiding the children somewhere and you don't know about it.
seriously, if your wife owes back child support, she is olbigated to pay and is in contempt of court until she does. there is a process though, and she would know what it is. she would have to be ducking all the warnings, steps, liens on her accounts, tax levies, etc and then there's jail time (till she pays up)
you are not responsible for any of it.
but i don't think i'd like being married to a deadbeat parent.

The Child Support debt was incurred solely by your wife and you are not responsible for it.
However, you should bear in mind that any assets that you hold jointly with your wife may be at risk if an appropriate arrangments is not reached in relation to the repayment of the debt.

Sounds like she is in some serious crap. You can always get an annulment because she wasn't honest about her past.
But seriously you need a lawyer to guide you in the right direction so you don't become responsible for the child support payments.
Good luck

i dont think FBI agents will look for your wife for child support. i think there is more to this.my ex owes more than 50,00. and they wont even arrest him for that. I think there is more to this. i dont think they will come after her unless she is using her child social security or something like that. I think you should be scared and if I were you I would get more info on your secretive wife. do a back ground check on her and see what else she is hiding from you. good luck.

Your not responsible. Anything that she owes is on her, she must stand up and take She must make some sort of effort to show the system she is going to make good.Have someone talk to a case worker to find out what she can/can't do and go from there.

im sorry to say this, but you are in for some hot water, the fact
that this women did not tell you that she had children, and what
women would not support her children. sound very selfish, and
that something that could cause some real trouble., she should have done right by those children she left behind.
and to owe that much 46.000. she got some dam nerve.
im sorry. but that just SELFISH......... and you really need
to look at what you really have with women and what else
she has not told you.

divorce--all this stuff was supposed to be known looooonnnnnggg time ago. If this person could not be honest with you then, what makes you think there will not be future lies or other past issues coming out later on down the line? You'd be better off if you left!

46K??? are you freaking serious? the FBI? the FBI doesn't involve themselves in child support issues. it's not a federal case. it's a state case. did they leave a card to be called back?
maybe she has a warrant but a city cop can pick her up for that. Look, you are no way responsible for your wife's debt. they aren't your kids...not your responsiblity. however...in order to get her out of jail (if she does have a warrant) then someone has to pay that 46K. in order for her to be released. soooooo...if you even want to see your wife again...yeah you may have to pay up.
