The first thing you need to understand when marrying someone who has children is this is not your case, these are not your children, so there is no "we" about getting custody. Your soon to be husband is the only person legally involved here, and it is to your advantage to stay out of it as much as possible. That's not to say you shouldn't do research on your states laws regarding custody, visitation and support, but realize you have no standing here.

Now, no, she cannot go after you or your money. However, keep in mind that if he gets behind on support, anything that is jointly titled can be siezed or have a lien placed on it. In other words, keep your bank accounts separate and if possible, title the home solely to one person (you).
