Does he have them 51% of the time? Regardless of any custody agreement, or court order the IRS has it's own definition of who the custodial parent is. Section 152(e)(4) defines custodial parent as the parent having custody for the greater portion of the calendar year and noncustodial parent as the parent who is not the custodial parent. If you feel that the mother may challenge this, or attempt to claim the child as well you can also double cover your back by having the Mom fill out form 8332, which basically says "I am the custodial parent of this child, and I am giving up my rights to claim the child this year. It can be found at http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f8332.pdf
The IRS rule is that if you have the child for more than half of the year, and they literally mean 183 days, you are the custodial parent.

Can a second job's income be included in child support calculation.
The person that claims to have paid the support.
Yes.
That would be dependent on the specific state. In California it would be considered a deductible item in the calculation. See link But, all child support is rebuttable
In most states it will not be included in the calculation
Absolutely. For calculating child support, virtually all income is counted except for public assistance/SSI.
The man who has been named as the father and ordered to pay support would need to file a countersuit claiming he is not the biological father of the child/children. Documentation would be required to prove such a claim and/or proof of claims of any other reason he is not obligated to pay support for the child/children named in the court order.
In Ohio, child support is calculated using a formula that considers both parents' incomes, the number of children, and other factors. The formula is based on the Ohio Child Support Guidelines, which take into account the parents' gross incomes, any child care or health insurance costs, and the amount of time each parent spends with the child. The court will use this formula to determine the amount of child support that should be paid.

In Missouri, child support is determined using a formula based on the income of both parents, as outlined in the Missouri Child Support Guidelines. The calculation considers factors such as the number of children, each parent's gross income, and any additional expenses like healthcare and child care. The guidelines provide a presumptive amount, but adjustments may be made based on specific circumstances, such as significant medical expenses or the children's needs. Ultimately, the court has the final authority to set the support amount, considering the best interests of the child.
