No Almost never. In a couple of states, there are some minor loopholes that revolve around cases where there is an open arreage or a recent reduction of support because of a new lower paying job, but in the US at least, a second spouses income does not generally affect your support amount.

The income of a spouse of a custodial parent, can be used in determing a portion of the child support. Because the spouse of a custodial parent is most likely contributing to the expense of the house, utilities and such, the non custodial parent may be intitled to a reduction in support.. this is usually a case that has to be heard by a judge. the income of a non custodial spouse can not be used as they are not contributing to the expenses of the home the children live in. If you think about it, this makes sense. a non custodial parent is paying their share based on the over all expense of the custodial parents home and income.. if the custodial parent is not paying for a portion of those expenses, then an non custodial parent should not have to pay them either.

Probably not, unless they married Donald Trump.

But, this is not to say this will not change as the states address declining revenue due to reduced child support orders as a result of the economy. By paying more, they are able to claim more in federal matching funds.

No, only the biological parents income will be used to figure the child support amount. No step-parent income is used in the state of Maryland.

No, only the income of the biological parents are used to figure how much child support will be paid. Medical support does not use a spouses income either.

The income of your ex-spouse's partner is irrelevant to child support; only your ex-spouses income counts.
