If your husband has fathered a child, paternity is established and the mother seeks financial support from him, then he will be responsible for paying for child support. In Illinois, courts determine a non-custodial parent's child support obligation according to a formula. So, for example, for one child, the supporting parent is supposed to pay 20% of his net income in child support. The tricky part is defining "net income" -- which is supposed to mean all income from all sources. This could include income from a parent's husband or wife.
If the mother seeks child support, your husband should work with an attorney both to make sure that she establishes paternity (that he is actually the father of the baby) and to protect your money. -------- Despina D.
