Legal Question in Family Law in New York
I am planning to marry my child's father this year.
-We have a 10 year old daughter whom he pays support to me for,
-We separated for 3 years, reunited and now have a 2 month old son whom he does not pay support for. ....however...,
-During the time we were not dating he produced two other children. The mother is collecting child support from him.
I wanted to know how our union could effect the obligations he pays (will the court acknowledge he is still supporting my children & will I be responsible for paying his support in any way in the future?).
