In some agreements, the child support payments stop when a woman remarries but I believe the new husband has to adopt the children and therefore becomes their legal guardian. So, he would be responsible should that marriage go south.

There are so many deadbeats that shirk their responsibilities, the courts have to attempt to protect the children.
I've actually never heard of that. I've been around quite a few child support cases, and in every one I've seen the child support paymants stay w/ the biological parent. The only exception is if the biologic is willing to sign over his parental rights.

I'd say off hand that that would be very poor work by a lawyer if the child support payments stopped upon remarriage. Not even sure the courts would allow.

It co-worker consulted a lawyer before he proposed, the lawyer said it is possible...at the very least she could take you to court and let a judge decide...he broke up with her...its just hearsay, but I think its something to consider.
Laws must be different in Canada. I've never heard of such a thing here in Texas. Only if the new parent adopts, and that's only possible if the biologic signs over his/her rights.

Maybe he's thinking of alimony.

That is easy to figure out as long as you don't rush the marriage. I think any relationship should be 5+ years before getting hitched. It takes awhile to really know the other person and a year or two is not enough.
If it takes five years and it doesn't work out..... That's a lot of time wasted. I knew after a couple of hours. Hit me like a ton of bricks! I wasn't even looking for a relationship. There is no right recipe, every relationship is different. Maybe if you have to work on it, it may not be worth working on it.

All relationships must be worked on. Some are simply easier than others.

So what’s the key to ying and yang relationaships? I’m too old to deal with the drama. In my experience, you don’t get the drama until it’s too late. What are some red flags from both men and women’s perspectives?
In my life, all I can say is it's about a proper fit in many ways.
I went through it all: Gorgeous, but vapid... Not-so-gorgeous, but obsequious... Strong and fierce and submissive.

I found a woman that also found me at the exactly correct same time. If we would have met 10 years earlier? Never would have worked... But we hit it when it was right.
Both at the same maturity level, Intellectual, but not pretentious... learned lessons from previous relationships and took those lessons to heart. Both of us.
Not saying age is the thing, but maturity and fit is.

She's strong where I'm not and weak where I'm strong and we just work well together without animosity of each other's weaknesses.

It helps that we are still crazy sexually attracted to each other after almost 10 years, but that attraction comes with a feeling of respect of who we are to each other also.
My respect for the woman is sexually arousing. Same for her. And she's hot as the Sun...
... I'm okay looking.

Lol... she'd give me Ojo me for that.

I'm the exact same way about my wifey.

And we laugh about how if we'd have met when we were younger, prolly would've killed each other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There are simply things you learn from relationships that come w/ experience and age.

The new parent has to agree to support the child, usually though adoption and that requires a surrendering of parental rights or basic desertion through non-payment of child support.
