Legal Question in Family Law in California

I have a CA support Order, mother of children has legal custody. I am re-married and live in NV. Does CA courts allow for my new spouse's income to be considered in setting/modifying child support? Or is it only mine and mother's inomes? And can CA courts allow my new spouses wages to be garnished for past due child support?
