Fiancé wanting to know if my income/accounts will be combined in my husbands childsupport?

I am engaged and my Fiance is going on childsupport after 7 yrs. Before I say I do, I just want to make sure my income will not be counted as part of his child support. Don’t want any surprises after we are married. Also, when we buy our house will that too play a factor with childsupport

No, your income will not affect his child support. Child support is calculated using the incomes and financial circumstances of only the biological or adoptive parents. Stepparents’ income is not considered.

Buying a house will not affect his child support obligation.
