for already mommies

Ok so my fiance was married and got divorced before we met and has 3 kids with his ex that he pays child support to. I am 38 weeks and when we were at the hospital we were answering the questions for the birth certificate and the lady said even tho we are engaged since we aren't married yet she had to put my status as single so now child support will contact my fiance to pay child support on our baby but since fiance and I live together and are getting married I don't want him to pay child support. Is there any way for him to get out of paying child support until we get married? We live in Ohio by the way

I live In Az too and like ladyprimetime said, we only had to sign a paper saying my boyfriend Is the father of the baby, so I'm not too sure.

Bump.

Ok ya when we were answering the birth certificate questions she had him sign a paper saying that he was positive the child was his and stuff but that didn't have anything to do with child support. So as long as I don't open a case against him he wont have to pay?

I live in AZ and it's been 6 years so I don't remember... but we weren't married when our first was born and he's never had to pay child support.

He won't have to pay it if you live together as long as you don't open a case against him.

I know here in az if your not married they make the child of ur father sign a waiver stating he is full responsible for the child and that the child is his

Its not really that its a big deal cause the money would be coming right back but with his other 3 kids child support gets 5 % of what they take out for a processing fee so we would lose money that way plus instead of being able to get all his money at once on his check I would get his check then a week later get the rest in child support and it would just be easier if they didn't make him pay it. Thanks for the info!

My husband says you can differ him of it. He says you need to get a notarized letter stating that y'all live together and you are waving him of all responsibility to pay. He grew up in Michigan and that's what his mom did for his dad when he turned 18 and his dad owed like 1500 in back child support. I don't see why its a problem because y'all live together so that money is going back into your household regardless. My sister in law is going through the same thing with her fiancé.that she has 3 kids with. The state of Michigan is suing him for back child support even though they live together and have since the birth of their first child.
