My new husband's ex-wife has recently figured out that I have a much higher income than he did by himself. Can she make any claim to my income for child support now that we are married and have a much higher joint income?

Child support is calculated using the biological parents net income. A court may deviate from the standard calculations by including a new spouses income, which must be disclosed, but generally speaking that is not done as a matter of course unless you have substantial wealth. It's decided on a cases by case analysis.
Hope this helps. |
