Legal Question in Family Law in California

The court finds me and my ex as the mother and father of 2 children. It also found the biological father of our son as "Other Parent". After he filed a petition to establish parental relationship with his son. The court ordered him custody visitation with his son every other weekend opposite my visiting scheduled weekends with parental rights and decision making. We were all ordered to support the children when in they are in their own custody. We were not ordered to pay child support because at that time my ex and his income were low and I was unemployed. We were all ordered to provide and income and expense report to figure out our child support obligations. About a year and a half later my ex is now married and filed for child support on my only and tells me that my income should be by far higher than his and did not want to include him also because he is already paying child support for 3 other children from different relationship. Court order orders all 3 parties to be served whenever any notice is required or permitted to be given by this Judgment. My question is are all 3 parties involved in the child support issues?

From the limited information we have in your question, it seems appropriate that all parties designated by the court as being involved in this case should be served any pleadings associated with parenting and support issues. As a precaution, it might be wise for you to file your own motion including the other designated parent so all parties are involved in proper recalculation of any support numbers.
