No it has to do with the fathers income.

Nope, not unless the father is making less money. Now days they give a flat rate instead of a percentage, at least in Wisconsin. What your new husband makes has no impact on what your childrens father has to pay to take care of his own children. Now they will just have another peson who loves them and helps care for them.
When I remarried I put my child support payments in the bank to save up for my sons education, or incase of some emergency where we needed the money. It's not like you don't already spend enough money on the children, and if you don't need the money because they are well taken care of then it's an easy way to save especially if you have direct deposit. My ex used to get mad because I would put his chld support towards rent or bills, but hey it's for the kid right?

Your ex-husband probably has the right to petition the court to lower the child support based on a change of finances but it is unlikely it would be granted because your new husband is not responsible for the care and upkeep of your ex-s children. If you receive alimony remarriage could be an event that triggers alimony to stop. Good luck and God Bless.

To point: You have not yet received a correct answer. Why? Because, like everyone else on this forum with a question regarding support or other family law questions, you fail to provide the state in which the order was issued.
This is not an irrelevant fact but one that controls all matters of child custody, support and visitation.
In fact, the correct answer MAY be yes depending on the state in which the order was issued.
So, do you want a correct answer or not? If yes, provide the state as above.

No. I am a parent that pays child support and my payments were not lowered when my ex-husband got married. I don't think that can happen unless your ex goes back to court and proves that the payments present a financial burden or that his means (the amount of money he makes at work) has changed.
Congrats on your wedding! Good luck.

I dont think so. Even tho u are get re-marrying ur new husband will help, but the childrens father should be helping buy the children's needs.

No but don't get too used to the money. It gets lowered and lowered what he has to pay as each of the children reach the age of maturity (18) until the youngest turns 18- then it stops completely.

No. Your ex has to support HIS children regardless if you get remarried or not....and it will not be lowered because you are getting married.
Always check your child support state laws before you make any major changes in your life regarding finances...

The child support is for the benefit of the children in the first place. Since it is not yours your marital status will not affect it.

No. Alimony will if you get it.
If your new husband adopts your children, your child support will stop and your new husband will be responsible for them.
