The salary or assets of the "innocent spouse" are NOT subject to garnishment or in any way considered pertaining to the payment of an obligated spouse's child support. However, if the married couple share a joint bank account commingled funds in most states would be subject to levy for child support payments. Additionally, all marital assets of couples living in community property states are considered to be owned equally. Therefore, the spouse not owing the child support could end up "paying".
Answer #1
Nope. The divorce decree and the subsequent child support agreement, have nothing to do with the husband's new wife. She also has no say whatsoever in any arrangements have been made or will be made in the future pertaining to the prior divorce.
Answer #2
Depends on the state. Some states calculate child support based on "household" income. So if the father owes child support and he gets re-married, his new wife's income is included in the "household" income and the child support obligation will go up. The same is true for the other parent as well. If the mother is receiving child support and she gets re-married, her new husband's income will be included in the "household" income and the child support obligation will go down.
When you remarry, you and your new wife are responsible to pay the child support that you had in your divorce agreement. Presumably, you will continue working and making the payments.
No, the income of a step-parent is not used when figuring child support for the children. Only the income of the biological father and mother are used to determine that amount.
No, but the parent needs to file for a modification. see link below
No, but be prepared to fight for your share of bank accounts, tax refunds, etc. that the State can and will take to collect the back child support.
Spouses are not responsible for their spouses' children. However, to collect past-due support, the State may place liens and intercept payments that involve the new spouse.
No. It's only the child's parents who pay for the child.
no because it will still be his child, not yours.
absolutely
No. Only the biological parents pay for their child regardless of who they marry.
Pays it to you or someone else?
No, only the NRP is responible for Child Maintenance.
If you're living together with the child, no; in such a case, get an order terminating support and setting the arrearage or stating that no arrearage is owed.
Yes, until the court rules otherwise.
Yes. If the the first cousin is one of the parents of the child and has a job but refuses to pay for food and clothing, and you are caring for the child, you qualify to file for child support. You may not be able to marry the first cousin as that is illegal in some but not all jurisdictions, but you can file for child support.
Marriage is an emancipating event. Generally speaking, child support terminates upon emancipation. So, if you want/need the child support to continue, he better wait until after graduation to marry.
Yes, unless they marry or join the military. see link below for complete list
It is in the best interest of your child for you to pay child support. If the child is still living in Mexico and the mother has a court order, you need to pay support. If there is no court order, you are not legally obligated to pay support.
No. Only the parents support the child, not the step parents. What you make will have no impact on how much he has to pay in child support. Even if you marry this woman that will not change.
You sue the person for child support. Just because you pay child support for one child does not mean you can not receive child support for the one you have custody of.
