If my husband has a child support order before we get married will it change after we get married, because he has a new family now w/out kids.

His child support doesn't change just because he gets married. His obligation to the child will remain the same.

No.
Okay, I'm going to go on the presumption that your husband is your fiance right now. In that case, no. This has been tried by CPs from time immortal, and it doesn't work (basically put, they seek to increase the husband's income through your own.)
At the same time, however, simply because he has a new family will not change the child support. If you have kids, they can be used to modify the child support, but until then, it involves his income, the CP's income, and the percentage of time the child spends with each.

Sorry dear, the child support order will not change just becasue he gets married. His obligation to his child will always be the same. If he gets married or has 15 other children, that child will always be entitled to support. Now, here in SC if he does have 15 more children the order may change to allow money for the other children--for their support, but a wife doesn't make a difference---AT ALL.

The ex wife cant get any of your income. If you have kids though in the future you can get a reduction in the current order so he can support both children equally. The person who said you cant do that doesnt know what they are talking about. :) Best of luck!

No it will remain exactly the same. Modifications are usually only done if the x spouses have a change in incomes, downward or increases. Some states only let you modify once every couple of years. New spouses incomes are never a consideration.

w/o court nothing can change. also he doesn't have a new family. he has an additional family. you might wanna start seeing it like that. i am married to a divorcee. The ex and the kids will all be in his life. Just the ex's presence is minimized. Make sure you treat the kids like part of your current family.

Nope it won't change. The amount may even increase over time if his ex asks for it in court.
This is the way it is in all 50 states. Childsupport is mandatory until his children reach age 18 or unless they are adopted by another person.

Depends on the laws where you live and the order was granted. It would not change in Canada unless duress could be proved.
The rationale is that having new responsibilities does not let you get away from your old responsibilities. Old responsibilities come first.

NO absolutely not. His children he had with the other lady come first. I noticed paople are saying that if you have children later you can petition to modify the amount, not true. The only way it changes is if his income amount changes.
