The only way that will happen is if he owes you back child support and they file together at tax time. Any money they get back that is owed to your child will be collected and sent to you. Other than that I dont think its possible. I collect a huge check every year from my childs father and his wife's income taxes because he gets behind. They file joint every year. I thank them so much. :)

There are two types of people that the Bibles says to separate yourself from and that is adulterers and thieves. Your description of her shows her to be a thief so to lessen the pain your loved ones are going through my suggestion would be to disconnect and separate your family from this person. If the children are at an age where you still have to allow visitation; stick to the visitation schedule. Do not belittle the mother to the children they will figure it all out and know who has been there for them. Studies show that if the parents belittle the other parents it harms the emotional stability of the child.

It depends on which state you are in. Some states (TN & PA) will consider the new spouse. Others states (MS) will not. Check with your lawyer to see what your options are.
Do keep in mind though, that they are not her children. If you are willing to go after her for money then you had better be ready to share parental responsibility with her as well. You can't turn around and say "well she isn't a parent, she's just a step parent". If her money is good enough for you and your kids than her love and parenting skills will be good enough too, you can't have a double standard.

No - and why would you want to try? That's just plain greedy.
Pursue your ex-spouse and don't try to ruin his new wife's life with your problems. She's already taken on a lot of responsibility by becoming a step-mom to your child/children... just be thankful for that!

I have known it to happen, years ago. But I think they changed it.
It is not the responsibility of the other spouse to pay another child support.

No, the only person that is required to pay the support is the biological parent. If you are not receiveing child support you can contact the Support Enforcement Agency in your county, get an atty and file for contempt (course they can't pay if they are in jail); request back child support also through the court and apply for back child support thought their IRS refund.

I've never heard of that. It's not the new spouses responsibility to take care of your child.

NO. Unfortunately not. Child support is based on the "parent" income. I know it can really suck. However, check with your local Child Support Office, and ASK. It Never hurts to ASK !!! Good Luck !!!
