If my fiance has a child support debt, will that responsibility become mines once we are married?

My fiance is in debt with child support to the point where they take his taxes every year, if we get married will they be able to take my money for his debt during and after the marriage, will a pre-nup prevent this from occuring?If my fiance has a child support debt, will that responsibility become mines once we are married?
they can not take your money ,they are not your kids ,he is the on need to take care of his kids,if u have to file your taxes


separted do it.dont file a joint returnIf my fiance has a child support debt, will that responsibility become mines once we are married?
Only his money..though you might want to keep a seperate bank account until it is all caught up.....
I am not sure if it varies from state to state, but my ex and his wife filed joint (I believe). The refund was held by the federal government, and she was given 6 months to claim her portion or percentage of the refund that was taken. After the 6 month period, the remainder of the refund was applied to back child support and released to me.
Certainly NO!, unless by law you will accept the joint responsibility for the kid. If later on his incapable to support the child the law will not force him or either you. Until again such time that he has the capability can continue to support the child.The problem here is when you get married and your soon to be hubby will ask from you. Before you get married you should have a conjugal arrangement signed under the law that you are not compelled at any event to support his kid.
Even with a prenup, the assets of a married couple are jointly held. I don't know what the circumstances were that he got that far behind on his support, hopefully, it was something like a job change/loss, and not his intentionally ducking the payments.





I'd think three times before I married him, honey. If you marry a man, you want to be his number one thing, not his number three or four on down.
As long as you are married it will be half your responsibility, pre nup or not.





Make sure your man pays his dues.
Yes, all of his debts will become your debts. Are you sure you want to marry a dead beat dad? He will do the same to you when you have kids.
A pre-nup won't stop it. Hey, you will also be responsible for paying the child support. Think of it this way. If he has to pay $1000 a month child support, that is $1000 less you will have as income between you both. Also, he won't want to have any kids with you. He already has kids. I hope you have talked about this. This is the reason second marriages don't last...and the fact that his kids are going to try to break your marriage, too. Fact is this is the line up to him in importance.


1) His kids


2) His ex wife


3) You
first it seems that you will need to file separate,





next at anytime during your marriage your husband acquires an interest in an asset say joint bank account, you buy a house together etc, that interest is subject to capture by either debtors or child support
They will not be able to touch your finances at all.


The bad part is your mans money going towards his ex instead of you.
Yes a pre-nup would prevent this from occuring. You should see a lawyer!
