No, but the husband might end up in jail or your income taxes might be intercepted, or your bank account garnished or a lien placed on your property. Call the child support office and tell them where he is working so they can garnish his pay and save you some trouble later on. |

Where I am at, they will take his drivers permit away, jail time, seize bank accounts and assets. Take 100% of tax returns and garnish his wages. |

No its not your responsibility! He will be taken to court to be ordered to pay it and can go to jail if he doesnt! try to get him to pay. |

you do not pay his child support. If he doesn't his child's mother, or a local child support enforcement agency, can garnish his wages from his job. If he quits working then he is in contempt of the court order that says he has to pay. If there is no court order, he is still not free from taking responsibility for his child/ren.
Now are you the current wife who's being forced to pay by him? Dump him, he's not responsible.
Or are you the child's mother who's just angry because he's with someone else? Get over it and move on, but get that child support and use it for the child. |

He should by law. I don't think his wife will have to though I don't see the connection there. |

No, the wife does not have to pay is -- they can not go after her - or her income- because they don't figure the wifes income in for child support in the first place. BUT..if you file taxes together- and get money back, say bye bye to that money.
but, the husband will be screwed. |

I do know someone in this situation.In this situation the father has custody of the child and the mother was not paying the support,so they had to go to court and now the mother's husband pays the support.The way the law sees it is when you marry someone you take the responsibility of the children involved.Sometime it doesn't seem fair.I do think you can file a form that says you are not finacially responsible for any child support your husband owes(like the forms you have to file for taxes so your portion does not go to child support.) |

Each state has different family laws, but most states say that the wife does not have to pay. The only time that the wife would has to pay is if the husband did not have an income...then they could attache your wages. |

If a man is ordered to pay child support than he must pay the support. If he doesn't there are ways to get the money. In order for the wife to be forced to pay the support I would think she/her wages would have to have been included in the court order. If they were married when the child was conceived the courts might have factored in her wages and therefore she would be responsible for child support. However, if they were not married at the time of conception I don't believe she would have been included in the child support order. If you are in doubt about what was included check your copy of the support order and if you still don't know see a lawyer for an explanation of the order. |

Wow sounds like my boyfriend. Actually I don't believe the new wife has an obligation to pay although joint assets can be used to satisfy the debt. |

Not in Michigan, but he will go to jail for nonpayment. He is breaking a court order and the only one he is hurting is the innocent child. Why did he have a child if he won't care for it?! |

It is his child and his responsibility, however; if he doesn't pay he will eventually go to jail. The new spouse is not responsible for the child support payments |

No, his wife isn't legally responsible...the child's Dad would be responsible to support his child. |

The answer is NO, the wife of a non-custodial parent who is not a party to the support order is not obligated to pay such.
HOWEVER, and this is very serious. If you share a savings, checking account or other property, those items can be attached (once a judgement for the amount is granted by the court) by filing a lien against the value and any such shared assets can be sold (in the case of property) or the monies taken from the accounts to satisfy the debt.
Therefore, in essence, yes, the wife can inadvertantly pay the support if assets are held jointly. |

No the wife doesnt pay what is supposed to be his resposabilties and he will be jailed another problem is when they file a married filing jointly or even if he files his taxes by himself they will hold it. |

contact the child support agency in your town or city,the court can order him to pay or wages can be garnished,,,and as long as one is working and has a social security number the money for the children can be got,but the wife of the man is not responsible |

No, the wife should not have to pay. They can garnish his wages but not yours. I would keep my own bank account just to be safe. Try to keep eveything in your name. |

You cannot file taxes together other wise you will have to pay the child support. Legally you are obligated to pay. I know because I am in debt right now for my husbands child support. |

No... but your husband will be a dead beat dad for one... and he will probably be thrown in jail... So I would encourage your husband to pay what he is obligated to pay. |
