My ex-husband is remarrying. Once this occurs, would the new wives income be figured into the calculations for a child support mofidication, should I take him back to court? I know he has been lying about his "documented" income and hiding dramactic amounts of "under the table income". If her income in factored in, this would help to raise the child support that is owed to my children.

Adding more information.....clarifying....will my ex-husbands, NEW WIFES income be considered in with his income, when calculating support for the children he and I had together...

Depends on the state...in Missouri no, it is not calculated.
I don't think it should count. Those are not his wife's kids. You should get child support for the lifestyle you had when you were married. When the kids go visit their dad, they can enjoy the new lifestyle.
Just because his wife makes money, doesn't entitle someone from his past to get her hands on it.
Also, I doubt you really are thinking about what is owed to your children...you are thinking about what is owed to you.
If you truly believe this, then when you get remarried, his child support should be reduced.

NO..His new wife has nothing to do with the child support..Her income will not be figured into HIS income..
If he's lying then take his butt back to court and PROVE that he is hiding income under the table..Because you do deserve the extra money..There are ways the Friend of the Court can find these things out, Try getting a hold of his W'2's..

Sounds like your a greedy ex-wife that needs to get a job or give the kids to you ex-husband instead of trying to cheat him out of his lively hood. He pays what the court says. If I was him an you tried that I would just ask for more days that he would have them and this would also affect how much you get. HAHA too bad but you anwser is he!! no you can't. My advice to him is to have a child with his current wife and refile in which this would also get you less money.

Yes, it can under certain circumstances. I know a lot of posters will say otherwise, but it does happen. For instance, the man has a low paying job, but the wife is well off and completely supporting the household. The court may choose to increase his child support payment because his actual expenses are lower. In addition, courts may attach assets that are considered marital to cover arrears.

No...the only income considered is your ex husband's alone. What his wife makes has nothing to do with it. She is not responsible for supporting your child. In my state, they usually take 20% of exspouse's income before taxes. SO.. if he makes 30,000.00 and his wife makes 50,000.00, then only 20% of the 30,000.00 is considered. If he is getting paid under the table and you are having a hard time proving it, then hire a private detective. Get proof.

No - thats her income - what he pays is based soley on his earnings. Those are not her children or her financial responsibilty. Who would marry someone w kids if then you got stuck w the child support. The ex - drama and step-chrn nightmare is bad enough!

in most states it goes by the mans income, not the woman's . if they file jointly on tax returns, the state will be happy to take his new wife's money also
they ALL hide their income, don't feel bad. its a 'i think I'm slick screw'n my wife's new boyfriend club' some enter... mine does it to. if your case worker isn't on the ball,buy him a pipe so he can get on the rock

NO, honey: I don't know where you get that idea. His new woman has nothing to do with you and anyone who tells you otherwise is smoking crack.
That is the plain truth for you.

Please, quit dreaming dollar signs. Call your child support enforcement... it is HIS obligation. If you truly know that he is hiding dramatic amounts of income... it would be easy to locate. You should be concentrating on those efforts, if they are real allegations.
