OMG! Just admit you are jealous of her & that he has moved on with his life & that You are a money grubbing leech! Your EX's new wife doesn't have to support your children! It isn't her place to pay for kids that aren't hers! Besides your husband is unemployeed so she has enough on her plate supporting their household. You need to Grow up! You will get your money once he returns to work! I suggest Professional help ASAP ! (For yourself!)

Though I think it sucks if your ex-husband isn't paying child support(though that's not exactly what you said), I have to say I don't think its right to modifiy your support based on what his new wife makes. My husband pays child support for his son, but I make 80% of our income & we are struggling on the edge of lower middle class. If my stepson's mother tried to basis the child support off my pay, we'd be in the poor house. I love my stepson & he is on my medical insurance & we pay all copays, etc., but isn't child support based on what the child would have had if the parents had stayed together? If that was the case, my income would never figure into it.

So let me see if I have this straight...
You were lucky enough to get rid of him, he has no job, which certainly makes him quite a catch-- she caught him and being married to him is not punishment enough now you want her income?
I know, it's child support, it's for the kids, it's essential, and it all may be ok within the eyes of the law, but I would not have a very clear conscience. What if that were you and not her?

That would be like your new husband having to pay child support for her kids in the future. No wonder your the EX wife.

The law varies by state. You can probably do an internet search on family law by your state to find out for sure. It might also take into account if you're working, how much you make, the kids ages, etc. It can get complicated. Is there a reason he's unemployed? He really needs to get a job and take some responsibility for his kids.

you know, it really sucks that this is what our country...no, scratch that, our species has come to. Someone marries someone with money and doesn't work so they don't have to pay child support. And other people figure out ways to get money out of a new spouse because they have more money that the person having their cash taken. I am not taking sides here, I don't know squat about either one. But I do see the option for abuse and know a couple of pieces of slim that have used these loop holes to screw over good people. It all just makes me sad and is not good for the kids.

She's not responsible for what you and your ex created, stop being so spiteful! There is no reason to hold her on account of your children. Instead of trying to find ways to make them suffer and profit from their suffering, why not focus on your life and be happy with the amount of money you DO get from child support (if any).

Depends on the state. Michigan garnishes the "new" spouses paychecks when the deadbeat spouse doesn't pay child support. Check with your "friend of the court."

your a real peice of work. why should she have to pay for you and your husbands mistakes? this is very disgraceful, but you were probably all ready like that. I hope someone pays you back in spades.
take him to court, maybe the modification will reflect his "no" income, and you won't get anything. that is justice.
yea I know!!! thumbs down to you too.

In my state, child support is based on your income. What the mother makes, what her new husband makes, makes no difference. It is what you make and what portion of that the state deems to be a reasonable amount to support your own child.
