Just curious, In Massachusetts, can my child's mother get more child support if I get married? I mean would her (my wife's) income be added to what I am making and then be connected to give the child's mother more $$?

In the United States of America only the bio parent is the one that has to pay child support. No matter if you get married, the income your wife makes is not included into the calculations of child support. Your soon to be wife is not the one that created the baby, therefore, she has no ties to any financial responsibility to your child.

Not sure about your state but in Illinois they do count both incomes as one and then decide how much of that will be paid in support. Contact your local child support enforcement and ask them what the laws are. Good Luck !

IF he has not made any money in a mutually as, and if u record mutually, convinced she would be in a position to get that money. It ought to be a definite amt too, some thing like 2000 greenbacks or so at the back of without money made. i'm sorry I missread, i presumed u meant income tax return. Sorry. yet in very severe situations will the courts pass when you. once you're the only breadwinner, and he does not artwork, then they might get into your account.

Morally, your new wife shouldn't be forced to pay for a child that's not hers. But regardless of what the law says, the family courts will let her try anything to get more money. Especially if you can't afford a good attorney.
Since the court order was against you, I suggest you file income tax separately to keep their paws out of her finances.

I live in Pa. & a new wife's income can't be counted toward what your making to give the child's mother more money.

No, a new spouse's income does not factor into child support.

If you are filing a joint income tax then you are claiming her income as yours and then it can be factored into your annual income and ultimately the amount of support you are obligated to give.
These are your children. You should be happy to be able to give more for their care.

you need to seek legal advice on this issue!!! I think they go based on both parents (mom's and dad's) income...not sure if they would include your new wife's income.

I would say NO___but I am also not familiar with your laws there where you live--so I certainly would ask a lawyer
