What can a father do about child support if he has 3 children from 3 different women. ?
My husband has 3 children from 3 different women. He has been paying for them over the years as he could because he wasn't working at the time. It is only now for the past year or 2 that he has been paying consistently. Now the 1 mother has already filed for more support. And the second mother is threatening to go to court for all of the years he couldn't pay. What happens if that happens? What can he do to prevent this? Mind you, we have been married for 7 years with our first child on the way.
Could he go to the court and ask for all 3 of them to come together and settle this

He can't prevent it. He is going to be charged for each child according to the support guidelines of your state. I guess you want your child supported financially. The other mothers do too and they have the right. I doubt he can do them all at once. Courts don't bundle cases.
He owes child support for all of his kids.....You picked a winner.
Get a lawyer to help him decide what is fair. Sorry but he created these kids - they are his responsiblity and he owes child support for ALL of them - even back child support. If he doesn't pay, they can take his tax refund for the back child support.
The court will decide what he will pay to each of them every month. He will also pay back support. If he is lucky they will not jail him for this.He played 3 women and now he will have to pay the price for not using protection. He will pay for every child until they are 18 years old. Looks like you sill have to support your family since he has 3 others to support.
he is responsible, get over it
All the mothers have the right to the back support he owes them. He can’t prevent that. Keep in mind that when he wasn’t paying anything those women were paying 100% of all expenses to keep roofs over those children’s heads, clothes on their backs, and food in their bellies. So yeah, he owes that back support, and you are aware that they do lock people up for being deadbeat parents, right? As for the child you have on the way, I hope you have a very good job, because he won’t have much to be contributing after paying all his current and back support obligations.
And in my state, the judges would not care about the new baby, the perspective is that you knew he had those other children and decided to have another child anyway, knowing about his financial obligations, so you don’t get to cry poor now. Good luck, sounds like you’re going to need a lot of it.
He can't do anything to prevent this. He is financially responsible for all of his children.
And i don't think the 3 in 1 thing would work.
Again, he's responsible for all of his kids. Seems you need to understand the consequences of his actions.
You want a "group settlement"? That isn't going to happen but, if it did, you realize that should you ever get furious to find out that there is a 5th child on the way with another babymomma that you'd be figuring out how to get 1/5 of whatever has been set aside for the "group settlement"? No, see, child support can't be that way. If it were, people would be charged upfront for the anticipated child designations! A guy would have to start his "child support" allotment by the time he was 15 in order for it to be banked by the average age men start making babies. And then, if he had a 6th baby.... how are they going to get those other 1/3 payments BACK to subsidize the next one? Including you. How would you figure he would now owe you far less because he just went on making more? It's not a possible arrangement. Kids need to be supported. Your husband is responsible, at least 50%, for the babies he deposited into the wombs of these other women every bit as much as he is, legally, responsible for yours. There is no corporation to sue. Only one guy. Your husband.
He's responsible for his children. The fact that the two of you chose to have yet another one just shows that he hasn't learned, and you're equally irresponsible. He can pay for all of his children and he can get a vasectomy. And hopefully you'll be able to come up with a budget to live on.
The first thing for you to know is that the mothers cannot legally waive their kids' child support. Courts have been very clear on this. The money rightfully belongs to the children and it's up to a judge to determine how much. So it doesn't really matter what the mothers do or say. But judges aren't in the business of making someone destitute either. So he will of course have to pay something, as he should since he saw fit to create all these kids. The fact that he's having yet another child with yet another woman will be factored into what he's ordered to pay, again they're not going to make him homeless. The fact is you married a guy with a TON of baggage and still chose to hand him more by getting pregnant yourself. So yeah, your financial lives are going to be severely diminished based on this guy's previous decisions.
