Re: child support

Support is based on your income. New spouse income is considered only to the extent that it affects amount of taxes paid. You should contact mom about a visit and if she does not cooperate then file a motion to set a visitation schedule. Expect to have to go through some sort of stepped up visits to allow you and the child to become reacquainted.

Re: child support

You would need to go into court to get a custody and support order, most likely your new wifes income will not have any effect on the outcome. Call my office if you would like to discuss this in detail.
