<prompt> Human: My fiancé is being served about potentially being a childs father. He dated a woman for a month before we got together and she had a baby she never let him see. He is going to get a paternity test. If it is his and he has to pay child support I am wondering if getting married becomes a disadvantage financially. I make more than him and do not know if they could come after my earnings.  <response>: No, its based off his earnings. Though since youll be married, youll be paying it out of your joint assets. They might levy a joint checking account you two have if he doesnt pay, for example.
