Your rights as the second wife is that just that - You came after, you married this man knowing that he was married before and that to your knowledge he had 2 children.  I think you should have minded your business.  You are an adult and you knew exactly who you were marrying when you decided to marry him.  Whether the child was adopted, found, biological etc. really had NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU.  It was a matter between Maria and your current husband.  PLEASE NOTE, this does not excuse what Maria did.  She was wrong without a doubt.  But if the LAW agreed with you and said, he no longer had to pay for Selina, the wife may be angered but the PERSON THAT'S HURT IS SELINA, NOT MARIA.  It is Selina that had no access to the man she thought was her father, it's Selina that was ejected from the car, it's Selina that was left behind. Selina was rejectd, and this hurt is the direct outcome of your interference. Selina has been rejected by the man she saw as her FATHER; this will affect her for the REST OF HER LIFE.  On the Dr. Phil show you and your husband said this was NOT about the money.  YOU showed your true colors when you stated  "What if we wanted to have children of our own? Who's going to support them after all our court costs, child support, emotional stress, etc. "  Obviously, it is about the money.  Like I said, you knew what the state of affairs was when you married him - Man with 2 children.  Questions such as the ones you posed are things you think about and decide upon BEFORE getting married, not afterward, and especially not at the expense of an innocent child.  Shame on you.
