You can divorce him and he must support all his children, no favorites.

Yes. You can start a paternity action which will determine legal custody, placement and child support. However, while you two are living together, the court will probably not order supportuntil you are living separately.

I don't follow your situation. You should discuss this over the case file with the Family Law Facilitator at your Courthouse for free or hire an attorney. Your best deal financially is to open a case with your County Dept. of Child Support Services and thus avoid attorneys' fees.

Your kids will not get child support before the other kids. All the children will be taken into account when calculating child support. A vasectomy is the only way to insure there will be no additional children to support.
