I have 3 children with my husband (ex) and just recently had a child with my significant other. My youngest child's father is the main provider for the family.
Generally, your significant other's income is not relevant. However, another problem is that your husband is the legal father of your youngest child. I doubt he wants to pay child support for a child that no one thinks is his. You both are going to need to talk to lawyers.
No. You have to use your own income. If you are, for instance, filling out a Florida financial affidavit, you may have to place zeros in the blanks for income. You are, however, allowed to add a note saying that you receive income from your significant other and/or how much income you receive from your significant other.
Also, you should strongly consider using a lawyer for your divorce. As I understand it, you've now had a child by another man while married to your husband. That means the new child is legally your husband's. That's a problem which needs to be corrected legally, and requires, at the least, some extra paperwork. You'll probably need a lawyer's help.

Your financial affidavit should reflect your income, that is, $0. However, unless you are disabled, you will be imputed a full time minimum wage income for the purposes of computing child support. I agree you have a problem with your youngest child, who's legal father (your husband), is not the biological father (your SO)
The short answer is "no" for the strict consideration of completing your financial affidavit. I've read the other responses to your question and do not see where you have stated that you are still married to the father of your three children? Did you give birth to your youngest child while you were still married? Am I missing something?! Regardless, you should always consult with and retain an experienced family law attorney when minor children are involved. Good luck.
