    Nope!

    The new wife has no legal obligations to YOUR child with her.

    I make more money than my hubby; ex-wife tried this and not only lost her butt but had to pay for his attorney as well for bringing him back in!

    Unless YOUR personal income went up it remains the same!

    Your new wifes income is NOT a factor where child support is concerned!

    Been there done that own the t-shirt!!

    YES, since you have children that need support and their support is based on your income. More income means more child support.

    Whatever the amount was set thats the amount unless she goes to court again and demands more money

    I’m sure she could hell i’m sure I could but it doesn’t mean i will receive.

    you fail to state how much she is currently getting but i understand why you choose not to disclose that.

    She can ASK for anything she wants, I doubt she will get it though.

    She can only ask for more child support if you are getting more money, your sole income. Not the combined income of you and your new wife.

    No, your new wife has no responsibility to pay for someone else’s child.

    She can ask for whatever she wants. It doesn’t mean she’s going to get it.

    yep.
    and if you say no, most likely she will take you to court. and they will allow it. atleast thats what went on last year with my parents. but thats florida…

    But I’m sure all states are almost the same.

    If your income has gone up, she can ask for more support. However, she can’t claim any income that isn’t yours – so if you’ve remarried, she can’t ask for any part of your new spouse’s money. The only income she’s entitled to a part of is yours.

    what does your new wife pay you? is that how you get more money being married? you income does not go up just for getting married unless you are military and go from single rate BAH to dependent rate BAH.

    I’m not sure what the laws are there. But i do know that if your child support order has not changed in over a year or longer.. Then yes she will get more. Because they will look at the cost of living and give her what the child/ children should be getting today.
    she would have to go to court and file a motion for an increase in child support. What the courts will do is look at the original child support order , conditions and date and if theres been no increase in over a year then she will get more .
    Now what you can do is get a lawyer and have that lawyer get the changes done for you. So that if theres any assets that are being questioned then you will at least have legal advice and support while your going through any transactions.

    According to the attorneys at Pitler Family Law (in Michigan) your state does NOT count the income of your new spouse into your calculations for the purpose of determining child support. The only exception would be if you were to quit your job to be a stay at home parent (or to avoid paying child support), in which case the courts would assign you the amount of support you’d be earning if you were still working. Since this would have to come from the income your new spouse makes, you not making anything at all, that would technically count as touching her money, but it would be your income potential, not hers, that was taken into consideration for the amount.
    Michigan does allow a review every three years without a change in circumstance just to address cost of living increases/decreases, etc.

    No. Your new wife has not legal responsibility to provide financial support for your children. Your ex may only ask for more if your personal income increases.

    too bad you couldn’t ask the court to make her do something constructive with her life so that she could make more money on her own.
