I filed my wife and my tax returns as married filing jointly. My exwife has ordered a child support review. Will my new wife's earnings be included with the total that the agency looks at in a review?

Check your state laws. The state I live in only considers the parent's income, not the new husband/wife's. And it's a touchy situation. I remarried a couple of years after my divorce and said and did nothing to indicate any financial gains to my ex. I even had to hide my new Lexus from my daughter and kept my ten year old VW to drive so my ex wouldn't ask for a review. I fully accepted and understood my child support obligation, but the money I didn't have to give my ex will go to my daughter for her wedding and for a down payment on a home. And she will appreciate a little extra cash for college, as opposed to having the newest fad while in high school. My ex wasn't hurting financially, but I didn't like how she poorly managed money. I just don't agree with the formulas the FOC use to calculate it.

No, Your new wife's earnings have nothing to do with it. The children aren't hers. The income of parents of the children and bill reguarding the children are what the courts look at. I've been thru this i have 4 step sons. Good luck.

My guess is no. The law when it comes to screwing it to the man for child support does not work for men it works against men. They should consider her earnings as part of the support for the children.

In the state of Ohio, it is the individuals income. The only time that they will look at a spouse's income is when that spouse is extremely wealthy. Make sure that you get a breakdown of your hourly and your overtime hours and list them separate when possible.

Yep. Every monthy expense...all her tax returns, pay stubs, proof of what she pays for daycare. The more correct information they have from both sides the better decision they can make.

I got this "friend" in Sacramento who'll take care of you ex...JUST KIDDING!! Yeah you're pretty much screwed! Sorry!
Try asking the judge to insist on an accounting of the money your ex gets to make her prove she's spending it on your kid(s). That'll put the cork back in her bottle! HAH!!

I'm pretty sure it will just be your income that they look at. Your new wife has no financial obligation to your children.

Yes,that's how they figure how much to take from you.What she makes is part of your total income.
