No. Child support is paid by non custodial parent, not step parent. Income of a New Spouse: Contrary to common belief, Illinois law permits judges to consider the income of a second spouse when establishing or modifying child support awards. The door swings both ways, too. A custodial parent who remarries a well-to-do spouse may suffer a reduction in child support to be paid by the non-custodial parent.19 Likewise, a non-custodial parent who remarries a spouse of substantial means may be required by the court to pay a higher child support than if the marriage had not taken place. http://www.illinoisdivorce.com/family_law_articles/etsblishing_child_support.php

It depends on the state. Some states allow for spouse income to be affected by child support, like Texas and a few others. There are many however that do not take into account the spouse's earnings so if the non-custodial parents loses their job, their spouse income can not be used in consideration for child support payment amounts.
