Also can they be sued as a couple by the custodial parent?

There is something called Imputed Wages where an amount is determined to be what the income would be if the non-custodial parent were working, this might happen if the non-custodial parent needed quit work and stay home to take care of younger children. But generally, the courts would not break up the non-custodial marrigage by going after their spouses wages.

extremely. each state has a clean employ listing in position. The listing collects information from employers and submits them to a database, that's then also submitted to the federal authorities. toddler help enforcement and the federal authorities can step in when they understand the position he's operating. the hot employ application replaced into set up to capture useless-beat mother and father who're not paying their court docket-ordered toddler help. once you change into employed you fill out a W-4 kind. this kind or an equivalent selection is faxed, mailed or submitted on line to the state's new employ listing. lower than federal regulation each company is had to do this. some states evan penalize employers for not reporting. you need to study up on how this application works on your state. Tax offset can basically take position in the experience that they are owed a reimbursement. Garnishment can take position. So it should be more beneficial to make a fee of a few variety very quickly.

The wages of the spouse of a non-custodial parent cannot be garnished, but things can be done such as: attaching their joint bank account, intercepting their tax refund, placing a lien against their property that is held jointly, etc. So, while a person cannot be held responsible for their spouse’s child support, if their spouse fails to pay it, it can in fact affect them. And frankly, if you marry someone who owes child support you should be making sure they do pay it!
Talk to a local attorney.

The non-custodial parents wages can be garnished. If she is legitimately working and her wages are being reported to the IRS. The spouse cannot be garnished, but if they file their taxes jointly, the spouse will lose their portion of the taxes to child support if their is a tax intercept.

No...only the child's actual parent can be sued for custody, the spouse cannot.

Talk to your attorney. Each state has different regulations on this matter. But if you can prove that he is working under the table, he will be forced to pay child support. Make sure everything goes through the state, because he has to send the money to the state, you get your money regardless if he pays them or not, the upside for you is that is he doesn't pay the state on time, he goes to jail. **Each state is different, but this is how KY does it, when the right channels are taken**

No.
The spouse of a non custodial parent is not responsible for the debts of her/his spouse, if they were a non-party to the debt. (And she isnt).

No. That's his obligation. Not hers.
