The laws vary from state to state but I know in NY state when the non-custodial parent remarries the custodial parent may take them back to court and ammend the support arrangement to include the new spouses income, which in NY would mean up to 17% of the parent's income and 17% of their new spouse's income. But keep in mind that if the custodial parent remarries then the non-custodial parent could have the child support reduced due to the new joint income of the custodial parent. I would contact your local family court or department of child and family services to find out for sure.

Unbelievable... You are an insult to women. Why not try looking at yourself, instead of what you can gain from others. Your children will become 18 years of age and you won't be able collect anything... What then? You need to make a plan for yourself now, either schooling, get a part time job, or do something at home to make money. Don't rely on a man, or your kids to make your support.

It is not even a matter of if you could, why should you? If you were to use that same line of reasoning, should he be able to reduce the amount of child support he pays if you were to remarry?

I think if his financial situation were to improve a great deal you can, in fact, in some states I know you can. my ex remarried and to a woman who made a lot of money...i didn't choose to even attempt to attach her income to child support, they were not her children and I really think it's not fair.
Obviously that isn't your favorite answer but why should she have to pay for the mistakes he made????....Look at this way, if she marries him she'll be paying already...she'll have to deal with him!!!!!!!lol....good luck, just don't be greedy, it'll cause more trouble than it's worth.

NO-NO-NO!!! why would you think your entitled to more money.
his new wife is not responsible for the children. if his wife makes more money than him thats their business -not yours.
your child support was set by the courts, if you can't raise the children on the money set by the courts then maybe you should
look at your own income and change that to a higher paying job.
or look at your expenses maybe your not thrifty with the way you spend money. make changes in your life to better your situation.
if you can't make it financially then make changes-don't buy what you don't need.

By Federal Law NO you can't his/hers' new spouse can and shall not be responsable for a child that is not biologically theirs OR adopted,thus the spouses income will have no bearing on what his/her income is, they again the payee can NOT reduce their income by expecting the larger income to sustain a living, he/she is still the sole responsiable party.

Why would you? How does that affect the expense in rasing your child? Try getting a job if you need more money.

No honey, the spouses income is not considered. It is just between the two parties - both parents.
