Candidly, you will need to get back to work to support yourself and your child. You became involved with him knowing that he had a child already, and financially your child will always come second in line.
If you are asking whether these facts will protect your fiance from a child support increase, the answer is no, that is determioned by the income of the parents, with a few specific credits given. You can look at the child support calculator online if you have questions. Just because she asks doesn't mean she will get it.
A contempt action can be filed to resume visitation, and should be done immediately to avoid further harm to the child.
