Will I be liable for child support of step children?
QuoteReply
I am getting married to a lady who has three children and has 40% her, 60% for the ex split for care of her children. She was classified as being voluntarily under employed since she works 25 hours per week at minimum wage. Her income was imputed at 40hrs/wk at minimum wage which netted her a small child support amount in her favor because of the income disparity. Her ex makes $70-$80 k per year compared to her $7 K. She opted not to collect the child support she could have.

We will be married at the end of this month and I am wondering if her ex can use my income level to try and adjust/rework the child support amounts in his favor? I make around $65 K/yr

Thanks, CB

Ok, the basic rule, the general rule,  is that unless you adopt step-children you are not liable for childsupport/Support Orders etc..

Under certain circumstances, the extraordinary income of a new spouse/household member, can be considered i the court's discretion when determining both

the income of the nonresidential parents Worksheet/support "income" as well as the overall transfer payment (which is the monthly check that must be cut by the obligor for childsupport).
