YES! I really don't know why people are telling you NO. They are absolutely wrong. Once you are married you both have a joint income. You file married on you taxes ...it is one income. She CAN get new orders based on the joint income.

i have gone through this. she can not use your income to get more child support. the only way that she can get any of your money is if your husband owes back pay (behind on his child support) and she can get that when you file for taxes together, and depending on what state you live in she can't do that.

Technically no. But...if you file taxes jointly her counsel will look at the tax return, see that you work and try to ask for more money based on the fact that you're both working.
I heard that K-Fed's ex tried this when he married Britney Spears. Not for sure if it worked, but its proof that if a woman is greedy enough she'll try anything.

Yahoo or google the family law search site (in your state )
inquire what is law in your area and if the ex lives in another state do the same so you can get a better understanding of what is determined in each place.

every state is different (slightly) about child support guidelines, but i dont think the ex can. it goes on just both parents incomes.
to be sure, check some of these links. just click on your state and find the child support section.

I am not sure but you need to talk with a lawyer and find out . She probably can if he is not paying it... They may look at both of your incomes.

No. His children with her are not your financial responsibility.
