Depends on the state you live in but in Oregon the law is that a new wife is NOT held liable for the husbands child from a relationship prior to you two being married, that being said if the child is his he does have to pay child support which will be placed in rears and when he does get a job they will garnish a percentage of his wages plus what he is to pay monthly, But he SHOULD pay child suport as he did make the child with her and it shouldnt be left to her to suport his child by her self, I hope it all works out for you and your husband
