Dear Caniwin:
Greetings. Child support is set based on both parties’ income. If she decreases her income voluntarily (which she may not be able to do under the law) then it is likely that your obligation will decrease, not increase, as the overall pool of funds for the children has decreased. Her new husband’s income is not hers. Run a couple of numbers through our child support calculator found here on our website. [:)] You may be surprised on what amount you find you will pay.
