More details to this question:
My ex is very abusive and I recently got married to someone new but my ex doesn't know about him at all. I have 95% custody of my children. Do I legally have to tell my ex that I got married. I'm concerned for our safety and what he might do to me and the kids if he finds out that I even was dating someone new.

Anytime a person petitions for child support or make some motion for modification for child support, each side if requested by the other side, needs to provide financial information about their household finances. This may implicate disclosing the income of the household which would include your new spouse. So in that context, that would be required.
