Legal Question in Family Law in California
My boyfriend and I are making plans to get married. His ex-spouse has made it a habit to seek more support on a regular basis. I make decent money and want to make sure that she cannot get to any of my income. Is there a way to protect my earnings from her support demands once we are married?

New spouse's income cannot be used to calculate support payments. It has some marginal effect on support, because it may alter things such as health insurance deductions, tax rates, etc. So joint income information may have to be disclosed, but the income does not go into the calculation.
