Generally, no. It is based on your income and not your expenses.
Spouses are not responsible for their spouse's children. But, he needs to get a modification.SEE LINKS BELOW
The power to "grant" a divorce does not lie with you it lies with the family courts. You cannot force your spouse to stay married to you. The court will establish child support (and alimony, if any) based on the needs of the parties and the ability to pay.
Child support is paid to meet the needs of a child. If the child needs a cell phone, yes.
No. Texas Family Code section 154.069 states that no spousal income may be considered when computing child support. That's either the custodial or noncustodial parent's spouse.

(a) The court may not add any portion of the net resources of a spouse to the net resources of an obligor or obligee in order to calculate the amount of child support to be ordered. (b) The court may not subtract the needs of a spouse, or of a dependent of a spouse, from the net resources of the obligor or obligee. Added by Acts 1995, 74th Leg., ch. 20, § 1, eff. April 20, 1995.
In Massachusetts, child support is determined based on the income of both parents and the needs of the child. Alimony is awarded based on factors such as the length of the marriage and each spouse's financial situation. Both child support and alimony orders can be modified if there is a change in circumstances. It is important to consult with a family law attorney for specific guidance on these matters.
Child support is used to take care of a child's needs. A parent can choose to give you the money but as long as all needs are met, they do not have to.
if the child is special needs and has to live with a parent yes otherwise no
ex-spouse that has a special needs child, are they able to receive benefits
Yes, he does. He is still a father, he has a child, and that child needs support.
The child's needs continue.
The persons in custody of the child must file for legal guardianship and request the court modify the child support order. The person needs legal standing to receive child support.
The purpose of child support is to support your child. Whatever else you do in your life has nothing to do with your responsibility to your child. If you have children with your new spouse - you still have to support your child from the former marriage. None of this is about YOU. It's about your child and his needs - and believe me, no judge is going to care how much added responsibility you've taken on.
