Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois
Spousal support
My fiance is ordered to pay support to his ex-wife. If we get married, can she take him back to court for more money because of my income. He has a year left according to the decree and is already paying 1000 dollars a month. Additionally, I have 2 children and they had none - not sure if that matters.

Re: Spousal support
Greetings - You voice a concern that I have
heard many times before. In my opinion, you need
not worry. A court has no right to base your
fiance's child support obligation on the additional income that you will bring to the
household in the event you marry. In any event
he needs legal representation so that his rights
as the non-custodial parent can be protected.
I have a five step approach that I suggests to
clients in this situation.
