Default common law break up with kids of previous marriage

Looking for some help. I've been in a common law relationship with a woman for 5 yrs. She has 2 kids from a previous marriage. Trying to figure out if I should be/will be forced to pay child support. Altough we have all been living in my house as a family there are some things about the support issues I'm not sure of. Her daughter has never really accepted me and I don't think that anyone would ever say that we had a father/daughter relationship. her son and I were closer but he has always called me by my first name and will talk to me about his "dad" who is still active in their life when possible. I see our relationship as more uncle/nephew or big brother like, but I'm not sure how the courts view it? My ex currently receives $600.00 a month for child support - apparently she settled for less than was to be awarded in their divorce
