The salary or assets of the "innocent spouse" are NOT subject to garnishment or in any way considered pertaining to the payment of an obligated spouse's child support. However, if the married couple share a joint bank account commingled funds in most states would be subject to levy for child support payments. Additionally, all marital assets of couples living in community property states are considered to be owned equally. Therefore, the spouse not owing the child support could end up "paying".

Nope. The divorce decree and the subsequent child support agreement, have nothing to do with the husband's new wife. She also has no say whatsoever in any arrangements have been made or will be made in the future pertaining to the prior divorce.
Answer #2
Depends on the state. Some states calculate child support based on "household" income. So if the father owes child support and he gets re-married, his new wife's income is included in the "household" income and the child support obligation will go up. The same is true for the other parent as well. If the mother is receiving child support and she gets re-married, her new husband's income will be included in the "household" income and the child support obligation will go down.
