In WA State, does a court reduce child support order when the father has legally adopted his stechildren?

Here is a link to the laws of every state. You will have to spend a little time to learn how to research but it will likely answer any legal question you may ever have. I've spent many hundreds of hours reading laws. I'm not sure that your support can be reduced based on your new children or not but you can learn a lot here. Good luck.

Welcome to the Legal Information Institute

You can also contact your local child support enforcement office for an answer. You will need a paycheck stub and copies of all your bills.

You may be able to modify your support without a lawyer or going to court. if so your ex wife may appeal the decision.

Nope, BIOLOGICAL children who came before the adopted children ALWAYS come first in a child support order. The only thing adopting the stepchildren will do is add to the man's financial burden. The step children's biological father should be supporting them.

Why would it, the children were made before the second (?) marriage ever occured. Why should the children be punished because daddy got a new wife and family? If he cant keep up with his obligations to his own children he has no business adopting someone elses children, or making more for that matter.

A number of states allow for a request for reconfiguration of child support if he has further children. I would check with the support arm of the gov't.

As I married a man with a child, I have no problem with him supporting her. It is his obligation. But I have the right to have our children factored in his support agreement as she would be if she was living with us.

Just because my husband married someone he chose not to be married to forever doesn't mean that any other family he chooses to make later in life should suffer for it. His daughter does not suffer, regardless of what her mother might think.

Not allowing for factoring in other children punishes the man until the first child(ren) is/are 18 - like saying "oh, well you had a kid, so you must support them at the expense of anything else in your life."

I realize that there are men who do not take care of their obligations, but mine, and most of the men I know, do.
