No, at least not in Texas. The man can marry a woman who's a millionaire but support of his children from a previous relationship rests soley on the father's shoulders. If the father works at mcdonalds and his wife is a doctor, child support is based on father's mcdonalds income.
But it goes both ways. A man who has a job flipping burgers will still have to pay his pittance of child support to his ex, even if his ex has married Donald Trump.

How is child support determined when custodial parent is married and unemployed?

The custodial parent (the one who has the child/children) is receiving SSI that is not included in the decision of the amount of support paid by the non custodial parent. If the non custodial parent is receiving SSD or SSI or other public assistance it is included in the decision for the amount of child support granted and such benefits can be garnished.

How much support will you get for being a single mom?
The amount given as a child support will be about the same amount you got when you were married for the house and children education.Added: (in the US) it is calculated on a sliding mathematical scale taking into consideration the salaries and income of both parents. The likliehood that you will receive as much in support as you once did when married is slim, unless your 'ex' is very wealthy.
