Ok my New husband is paying for a child (Child #1) that has been
legaly adopted by another man, He was married to that childs mother
and pays $150 monthly.
So since Child #1 has a new father and his legaly adopted, Should my
Husband be paying for that Child?


No. Adoption is the renunciation of all parental rights and
responsibilites. Your husband should have signed a document to that
effect. If it doesn't exist, than the child wasn't legally adopted.



As far as child #1 they are correct. Your husband would have had to
sign a paper giving up all his parental rights before that child could
be adopted.

Child #2. Why doesn't your husband take custody of him/her since the
court found the mother unfit and your husband's charges were dropped?
The courts usually want to give the child to a parent before a
grandparent. But the grandmother would have to request support from
her daughter if she wants her daughter to pay.
