No, New York does not take a new spouse's income into account when calculating child support. However, if you owe back child support, the state is able to garnish joint assets, such as a joint checking account or a joint tax refund.

Stepparents are not responsible for their stepchildren. Spouses are not responsible for their spouse's child(ren). However, to collect unpaid support, the State may place liens on real and personal property, including bank accounts, owned by the obligor, even though the spouse is a joint owner.

In general, (re)marriage should not increase or decrease one's child support obligation, regardless of the new spouse's income or the presence of stepchildren.

Will a new spouse have to pay child support in the state of PA?

Unlike most states, Pennsylvania has no provision for allowing or disallowing a new spouses income in the calculations. It is left at the discretion of the judge ordering support. In many cases, if the new spouse has a significant income which creates a large income variation between the custodial and non-custodial households, a judge will rule to include the new spouse's income in the calculations.
