Greedy!!! Why should she have to pay you for child support?? The kid is your responsibility and your ex husbands, not hers.

Most states base child support on the fathers income only. I have heard where the father remarried and became a Mr. Mom (his new wife was a dentist, both wanted children so he gave up his 9 to 5 factory job to raise their child) so when the Ex wife went back to court filing a claim against non-custodial income the court ruled that if he had chosen to quit his 9 to 5 job for a house parent job he rightfully was entitled to half his wife's income which is what the new child support was based on. Another extreme story was a father wanted to reduce his child support so he took a 6 month job leave from a company where he was getting $32 an hour, to working at McDonald's making minimum wage in another state. He told his Ex he relocated and this was the only job he could find and went to court to have his child support reduced. A man from the company he had been working for just happened to stop in at the McDonald's he was currently working for and saw him. When he returned home he called the Ex wife and asked about him the Ex told him what her Ex had told her, he went to work and checked company files on him and found it was a 6 month leave and reported to management what was going on. Management fired him that day with a call to the McDonald's verifying his employment, while the Ex wife reported to court about his deception to them. He had to get 2 jobs to make child support payments.

You really out for the money. I think it's your ex husband job to pay child support not hers. Why should she have to pay for your child. WHY? Because she married the dad. Wrong. He has a right to a life with a new women. And this women has no obligation to pay you nothing or buy your child anything. That's up to her. Leave that alone your only going to cause promlems between you and the new lady, and maybe your ex husband too. Your going to open up a can a worms you can't eat.

In most states it is based on his salary/income. Be careful if you decide to try this because he could go in for a reduction based on increased expenses! Talk to a knowledgeable attorney in your area or contact the court system, they actually have tables/charts to determine child support and may be able to give it to you. Make sure your child support order addresses issues of sharing costs of child care, summer camps, extra-curricular activities (dance, sports, piano lessons, etc) and medical co-pays and medical expenses (eye glasses, braces, etc). Good luck and God Bless.

Child support is usually only based upon his income, whether married or not. Like all rules, there are some exceptions, depending upon your state. The exceptions might be where the wife makes a huge income or his marital standard of living is hugely higher than that of your children.

Some states take in consideration of both incomes. However, the bigger question is are you doing this because you need the money or out of spite because he is getting remarried?
Good luck!

I don't believe child support will be based on her income. As a matter of fact, I think he could have it lowered if he tells the court that his new family obligations are stretching his income.

We live in Missouri. Our attorney told us that it would be a rare situation that child support be based on the ex's new spouses income. Like for instance, if your ex was marrying Brittany Spears and he was now her love-toy and that was his only job, then her income would come into play in child support.
