Generally, child support laws differ from state to state, but most states take both parents’ incomes into account when calculating child support. For example, California, New York and Texas all take into account spousal income when calculating child support, so you can get a full picture of your family’s financial resources.
Some states, however, may prioritize the income of the other parent. It’s important to check the state’s specific child support guidelines, as state laws can vary significantly.
