My ex is trying to get child support from me. I was just laid off from my job and i am about to marry my new girlfriend will she be responsible for my child support payments.
No, but you will. Your child support obligation will not stop just because you have been laid off. To change your child support you have to go back to court.
The only time I'm aware of in the appellate courts in a case similar to yours (where a wife was held responsible for payment of a husband's child support) was where the payor purposefully quit his job to go live off his new, rich wife's money. Assuming that's not what you're doing, your new wife will not be responsible for your child support. Since you've now been laid off, you should file a motion to modify your support so that it doesn't continue to accrue at the old rate.
