My friend gets a divorce, decree states pay childsupport (he is paying), boyfriend has another baby signs birth certificate.. my questions are:1.do the child still need to be legitimized? 2.if the new mom goes and puts him on childsupport will the state modify the child support already ordered?

BOYFRIEND has another baby?
Whoever has another baby, unless the baby is your friend's why would it affect him at all? If it his your friend's baby, if he signed an acknowledgment of paternity then he is the fate. And, of course, his child support will increase for the new child.

Boyfriend and friend are the same person... he is divorced pays childsupport through the court.. he has a new child with me.. he signed the BC for the new child... if I go put him on childsupport will the old court order be modified due to another child being added to his income? Do I still need to legitimize this child?

Thanks for clarifying. If you are not the mother of the other child, your request for support is a totally separate action. The court will consider the amount he is paying in determining support, but it will be a separate award.
