Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

Child Support

I'm a non custodial parent paying child support. I am facing a revision in Florida that can potentially double my payments. My child's mother is married and has a new baby with her husband. The child lives with his mother, stepfather, and the baby. The child's mother does not work and receives social security benefits. The stepfather pays substantially all of the household expenses. My question is, under Florida law, can any of the stepfather's income be imputed to the mother for purposes of determining her income during the child support revision process?

Re: Child Support

Not very likely, but you should check with a Florida attorney who is familiar and experienced with the domestic relations laws of that particular state.(Under Virginia law, no part of a step-parent's income may be counted as income in the shared income formula for purposes of computing the share of support which might be owed by the custodial parent of the subject child.)
