Default Spousal visa advice needed for S African to UK

Hello, I'm hoping someone can help with the following. My Fiancé who is South African and I want to get married and for him to live with me in the UK. I am a British Citizen and currently live in the UK. We have read the requirements and the one that I need assistance with is the financial requirements - it states that this varies depending on the number of children being sponsored or currently financially dependant on the sponsor (me). I have 3 children, how much will the financial requirements be? I meet the £18600 requirement but am concerned about any extra amount that I will have to meet. Does anyone have any idea?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks

If your children are British citizens then they will not be included in the financial requirements.

If the three children hold British passports the financial rule doesn't apply to them. However, if all the three children are South Africans then you're required to earn an annual income of GBP27 200 to sponsor them including your spouse.

Thank you BritInParis and Philimon_bodiba for your replies. All 3 children are British and hold British passports so that's the first hurdle sorted. I'm sure I'll have other questions as I go through the application form and guidance notes.
