The person might be able to obtain an interrogatory for discovery of income from the family court, but that is not likely. The income the custodial parent makes is not relevant in accessing the amount of child support That is based on the income and assets of the person who has been ordered to pay the support. I'm thinking you have to make a motion in court to request income records. The income of both parents must be known to determine the amount the noncustodial parent has to pay, since it's usually based on the ratio of the noncustodial parent's income to the total of both parents' incomes. As has been noted, child support is based upon the income and assets of the biological parent who has been ordered to pay the support. The income of the custodial parent is not relevant, as the monies are for the support of the children. One issue pertaining to the financial support of the child/children is how it relates to dependant deductions pertaining to the tax codes. Actually both incomes are used to determine the amount of child support. It is done by percentages. Both parents are responsible for paying for their children. If the father makes more than the mother he will be responsible for the higher percentage on the amounts spent on the necessities of the child. I've worked in the legal field for almost 30 years. There are some differences in the laws among the states, but they basically follow the Uniform Child Support Laws. My daughters lived the majority of the year with my ex. My income was much less. I did not have to pay child support. My ex had to pay me support when the girls lived with me during the summer months.

No. If you are not married you pay child support to the custodial guardian, in this case the mother (?), and they take a 26% (?) out of your income to pay for the child. She is also already spending a % of her income. Since you are not married you do not share a income.
