The judge would only be able to order custody/visitation/support once the father acknowledges paternity, and support can only be granted after a hearing which your ex would be served notice of so he could have legal counsel or represent himself.

Usually there are two seperate hearings, the first being the paternity issue, and then another hearing at another date to determine support.

Also, the new wife's income is not taken into consideration when determining the amount of support. Only the fathers and your income.

re child support

Child support calculations are usually based on the father's and the mother's income, so that would be he and you. His new wife is not a parent of your child, is not responsible for supporting your child and will have nothing to do with the figures. If they currently have or ever in the future have children, his need to support them is usually not part of the equation either. The only thing that may be considered is if he has any children from prior relationships/marriages for whom he already pays support. The support he pays for that/those children would affect what he would pay you. Confused yet? =)
