I'm getting a divorce and me ex is pregnant. She is supposed to pay for child support. Will i owe child support for are unborn

If your ex is still addicted, when she gives birth to the child, it is possible that OCS will step in and take the child from her, especially if OCS is aware that you have custody of the older child due to her problems. OCS would try to place the child with you, if you are able to take care of the new baby. Alternatively, OCS may place the baby in a foster home. The child support rules are different, and normally do not allow you to call it "even" if each of you has custody of one child. For your older child, your ex is supposed to pay you 20% of her net income, or a minimum of $50/month. For your second child, you may owe child support to her, or to the state, BUT you are entitled to a deduction of 20% of your net income for your first child, and then your child support for the second child is calculated based on your net income minus 20% for your first child. If she has custody of the second child and goes on public assistance, the state Child Support Services Division (CSSD), will seek child support from you for the state. Be sure to inform them that you have an older child that is hers and yours, and tell them that you want the deduction for your "prior" child. When custody is "divided", as you suggest it may be (you have custody of one child, and she has custody of the other child), there is a slightly more complicated formula that takes into consideration the income of each parent. You could contact the Family Law Self-Help Center, which has a link to it from the Alaska Court System website, for assistance. The issue of child support could be handled by the judge in your divorce case, if you inform the judge about it. If you do not inform the judge, then it will only become a hassle later.

Depends on the State but usually child support is based on income and you would pay her some amount. In Washington we have a schedule which adds the two net incomes (certain manidatory deduction) and offset the amount if a divided family. So, while the person who makes more money pays some to the other parent, it is greatly reduced to cover the costs of the other child. You need to also consider that there is a good chance that you end up with custody of the second child as well. The reasons you received custody of the first are still present and the new child is in the same, if not more, danger than the older child with a mother having these kinds of problems. Talk to your lawyer about the issue and see what he or she suggests.
