Based upon the limited information provided in your question, it appears that your question is whether you are responsible to pay your fiance's child support obligations to his 3 children in Ohio that he would leave behind if you both move to Maryland. Technically no. You are not responsible for someone else's children or support obligation to them. But this may create issues with your fiance if he is unable to provide or pay his support obligations to his 3 children and contribute to your current household expenses.I strongly encourage you to consult with a maryland family law attorney to discuss in more detail. This response is for informational purposes only and does not create an attorney client relationship.
