The man (or men) who actually fathered those 3 children should have to pay something in child support. He/they shouldn't get off scot-free just because she happened to be married to someone else.

As for the ex-husband, if he either has or wants visitation rights and he wants to be "Dad" to the kids, then he should pay something toward their support. The bio father pays a certain amount, and the ex pays the rest, so that the total amount of child support the mother receives is the same.

This goes without saying, but the ex should pay support for his own biological child.
