Will I have to pay child support?
Will I be responsible to pay child support for the children of my fiance? He does not have an income because he was laid off from work but I do work. If he cannot pay it does that mean that I have to? We have some joint bank accounts together.

You are not legally obligated to pay child support for your boyfriend. The support will accumulate and he will have to pay it when he gets a job.

The question is whether your fiances children are your biological children or whether you have acknowledged paternity of them. If so, then yes you will have a support obligation depending upon factors such as your income, how much time you spend with the children and medical insurance costs.
