Because both parents must provide for the child regardless of the parents' relationship. The ex spouse's position is irrelevant. If one half doesn't help, the other half quitting doesn't make it better.

Separating from someone does not remove parental obligation.

In California, the income of a second spouse or S/O must be included in consideration for a modification. It is limited to a maximum of 20% and is generally only used if the obligor cannot maintain child support payments due to circumstances such as being laid off. Other states are considering similar modifications to the child support rules to address the grow number of men being laid off. See link about getting a modification and modifying child support arrears.
