No. Child support is based ONLY on his income. Yours cannot be considered. The only exception would be if the mother went back to court and proved that she was practically destitute and unable to work at all and that you guys were pretty much rolling in dough. Even then she has to fill out extensive financial information to submit to the court. You and your husband would do the same and you get to include all your debts etc. The judge would only consider joint income if it was proved you had tons of excess income while she was basically living in poverty. I don't think it happens very often so I wouldn't worry about it.

Child support is based on the income of the parent making the payments. If you got a job and are adding to the family income then that money can't be touched to pay for HIS child support.

The court establishes how much money you should pay. In some states they have a formula that identifies what the payment amount should be, and it doesn't matter if you earn more money or less money, you are just responsible for the amount their formula says you should pay. Good luck

Could be, child support will be based on the household income. You may get around it if you keep seperate checking accounts and file your taxes married filing seperate.

if you marry a guy with children and you have children as well you will not be paying as much maintenance to his ex. But if you have only your husbands children then he is still eligible to pay the csa. It all depends on how you both work out your finances

If the increase coming into your home are your wages, you are not responsible for his child support. Only his wages can be garnished from what HE makes. Going forward though file your taxes separately so no dollar amounts reflect on "his" name.

You are only responsible for paying more if the court orders you to pay more.

you wouldnt think so but to be honest I am not sure. but when you say you income increased do you mean yours or his or both combined? if its just your then no, I am pretty sure the childsupport is based on his and her income not yours!
