If the custodial parent gets remarried will the new spouse income be used for child support?
no the new spouse is not legally responsible for a child that is not theirs
Does a new spouses income factor into what the non-custodial parent pay?
How much you pay is a set sum, in percentage of your income. Usually around 20-30%. That does not change if the person get remarried.
How is child support determined when custodial parent is married and unemployed?
I do not think that all states are standardized yet but in Nevada it is 25% of the non custodial parents income for the first child and then an added amount of something like 3% for every additional child. The custodial parents income or marital status does not factor in at all.
Is the child support amount based upon the ex-spouse's household income in Arizona?
No, not the whole household's income, just the ex-spouse's income. If he/she is remarried the new spouse's income does not count. Only the biological parents pay for their child.
What is considered to be support for child support?
In Florida, what is taken into consideration is the custodial AND non-custodial parents income. An affidavit is filed in court (for the hearing), to accurately provide the financial information on both parents. Those numbers need to be verified and are used to determine the custodial parents' financial obligation for all expenses regarding the childrens' needs AND the non-custodial parents' obligation for the same. Usually 49% and 51% respectively. For example: Custodial parents' income is higher than non-custodial. 4 teenagers in High School (no daycare) with higher than normal expenses for food, clothing etc. No medical issues require a total of $1200/month to raise. Custodial parent- 49%= $588 (doesnt have to be paid because you have kids) Non-custodial parent-51%= $612 (you are "awarded" this amount) IF SHE EVEN PAYS
In Florida is a spouse's income included in child support?
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.
Can a non custodial bring back custodial to court if she makes more money?
Usually, no. The non-custodial parent is expected to make at least a minimal contribution - in Illinois, 20% of net income for one child - regardless of the custodial parent's income.
In Louisiana if the custodial parent remarries and does not work what would be used as the custodial parents income to figure child support worksheet?
If they worked previously, a presumed amount would be used based on a two year average. see link
Explanation of what child support is used for?
Child support is based upon the income of the parents. The custodial parent does not need to prove what the child support was used for. The custodial parent is expected to provide housing, food, utilities, etc. to the child.
If your parents make too much would getting married help you get better student loans?
Getting married does make you independent of your parents income, however you need to consider your income as well as the income of your future spouse.
How old do you have to be to not consider your parents income when applying for school loans?

Does then Non custodial parent pay more child support if remarried?
Child support is normally calculated by a formula that takes into account several things: income of both parents (or income earning potential), health care costs, child care costs, other minor children being supported, etc.If either parent remarries, their spouses income doe notfigure into the calculation, so unless some other factors change as well, there should be no change in the child support amounts.
