Hi Bill - Congrats on getting married. I have no idea if your sons mother can come back for more money due to your new wifes income ???? I wish I had more advice for you .......... maybe you could call an attorney and request a free consultation ?? Good Luck ! Jackie www.momdad2bee.com ↑

Yes, your x can take you back and get more money. It can also work against her - if she is making more money than previously recorded and such. I am going through this right now - it is a new FEDERAL law within the Department of Revenue. It is not decided on state level. Dont forget, child support is ment to take care of our children and make sure they live in a lifestyle they might have had if the couple were still together. ↑

Hi Bill!! To my understanding she can not take to court for more money because it is not your income. It is your soon to be wife's income therefore she could only take you for your income. However try to put everythings into your future wife's name that way she has no proof.. Or maybe under a realtive you trust.. ↑

Bill, When you get married your ex can't get more child support because of her income. Regardless that you are married the law does not see that it is her responsiblity to pay for your child. They will not make you pay more based off of her income. If you are making more money then yes it can raise. Just like if you have other kids or have kids with the soon to be wife that also takes play in the child support. So to answer your question no she can't get more money based off of joint income, its not your income its your wifes. If that makes sense. (Started Law School) ↑
