Help answer this question below.
For the child you fathered...assuredly so...although if you have the child 60% of the time, you might get off with a slightly lower amount...you'd really want to touch base with an attorney or a legal advocate in YOUR state to find out the most accurate information on this.
As mentioned, if you adopted the other two kids, then you have also assumed liability for them as well.
NEVER PROVIDE SUPPORT, OR ANYTHING ELSE, EXCEPT THROUGH THE COURT. SHE COULD NAIL YOU FOR RETROACTIVE SUPPORT.
You may have the child 60% of the time, but without a court order, you have no legal right to the child. Only Arizona has single father laws. You will need to file for joint custody with primary residency, but you will need to do it while in possession. BUT, DO NOTHING FOR SIX MONTH WHILE YOU COLLECT EVIDENCE FOR THE CASE. Be nice and submissive.

I’ve been a Father’s Rights Advocate for 20 years.
Many think the courts are rigged against dads, but in reality, it is more about attorneys unwilling or lacking the knowledge to truly fight for the father's rights. This is why it is important to learn how to interview and hire the right attorney. It is also important to do as much as possible on your own and not pay the attorney to do it.
Part of the problem with getting your rights knowing what to do to prove your case, and how to remind the judge of their responsibilities. Let me start with the judge.
Always take people with you to court who are not there to testify. Make sure they are sitting where the judge can see them, each equipped with a tablet and pen to take notes. It’s best to use a Court Watch Form designed for this purpose. I have one in the manual at Dads House.
If the judge is not doing his job, using the info from this form, you can, appeal, and/or get the judge sanctioned and removed from the case. You file a complaint with the State Supreme Court at your state capital.
Start keeping a daily journal of all your activities. The most common way to prevent a father from getting his rights through the courts is a false allegation, usually sexual. Over 60% of divorcing father are accused of child sexual abuse, of which only 4% are found to have any relevance, but there are no penalties for doing so. A daily journal is your number one piece of evidence in court and you can even refer to it while on the stand.
Gather evidence. Check the site below to see if it is illegal to record conversations without the other person knowing. If your state does not have a law either way, than it defaults to the federal ruling which says one person in a conversation must know they are being recorded. You’re that one person. In Missouri it is specifically legal, in Kansas there is no mention either way. If you live in two different states, and one has a law against it, than it applies when the call originates from within that state,

Now, you can't just record, you also have to transcribe it into the daily journal.

No, because you have the child the majority of the time. In fact she should be paying you child support. And you are not responsable for the three older children. Their fathers' are. You need to go to court and get all of this straightened out right now.
No, If you have your child %60 of the time, you'd assumingly be covering about half of the cost (assuming you don't need to pick up the child and have mom pack food, that you buy clothes and other nessesities.)
if you adopted those 2 children definitely you'll pay child support..hopefully you shouldn't be

You're reading My ex has three children from two fathers and one from me. She does not work and I have my child 60% of the time, and cover all the medical insurance cost. We both live in Kentucky. Should I also be paying child support in this situation?
