Re: Rights of the second family

More | Report Post

If you comingle your assets (i.e. checking, savings
accounts), then, yes, the child enforcement agency can and
will take the money out of the joint account. As long as
you do not commingle, then the CEA can't take YOUR money.

Since it appears your intended doesn't have a job, you
probably have nothing to worry about.

What the ex-wife does with the child support payments that
are sent to her as the provider for the children is none of
your business. The money is for THEIR children and the law
presumes she uses it to provide for THEIR children.

It has nothing to do with the ex-wife's income or
resources. It has to do with your intended complying with a
court order and with him suporting HIS children, as the
court has ordered. If your intended believes the court-
ordered child support is too high, he can file a petition
for modification and ask that it be lowered

The rights of the second family are that your intended has
the legal (and moral) obligation to provide support for HIS
children.

It looks like you've found yourself one jim dandy of a
future husband.

I hope you're religious and pray hard, because, honey, it
appears you're deadset on marrying a person with no job and
no apparent means to support HIS children by you and HIS
children by another woman.
