lol it's humerous to get all these reactions about me going after her income... funny how people jump to conclusions over a simply stated question.

You can include her in some states. What state are you in, I can tell you.
A lot of second wives, adulterers answer here so beware.
“Some states specifically allow the court to consider the income of a
new spouse, e.g., California, Hawaii, Louisiana, while other states
specifically prohibit such a consideration, e.g., Arizona, Minnesota,
New Mexico, West Virginia.”
“In the absence of a statutory mandate, the courts have generally held
that the income of a new spouse will not be considered unless such
income is directly used to reduce the expenses of the obligor spouse.”

It is pretty obvious that she just wants to keep her presence known to him. Please pack up the chairs and the art work. Call a good friend with a station wagon or a truck and ask for a huge favor. Give him money for gas and ask him to take the chairs and the art work and load them on his truck and deposit them on her front door stoop when there is no chance for rain. Wipe that witch out of your life. Ask your FH to change his e-mail address. It is time to get rid of all ties and communication. I do not think for one second that he is doing anything wrong here. This is all about her inability to let him completely go. She is doing this to cast doubt for you and for him and to cause waves close to your wedding date. Finalize this connection between those two or she will be back dicking him around whenever she decides to make her presence be known. Take control.

In California, they say it's his income. However, they take hers into consideration too because their combined income falls into a higher tax bracket.
Good luck.

Logically it will be only his, cause the spouse doesn't had anything to do with the kids birth right.
and base on that the court will take their decision and sometimes very rare will take the wife's in consideration if she accepted of course.

Hi Sug-
I think the courts will base it on his income only.
(Of course this means you are still active in his life, making his new wife furious at you.)
Oh well...something she will have to deal with.

I think it is only based on his income.

It depends on what state you live in. I believe in the State of Connecticut it's based on his household (combined) income, not just his alone.

Illinois or Missouri it's just his income. I don't know about other states.

It's based on his alone since she would have no responsibility or obligation toward his children.

Aren't you being here too greedy? Don't get too excited. They might have the children of their own soon. What's then?
