Legal Question in Family Law in Louisiana

I am married to woman that has two children from a previous marriage. We are going back to court to change visitation. My question is this: Does my income come into the equation when asking for child support? My wife no longer works. She is a stay at home mom. we are in Louisiana if that makes a difference. Please advise. Thanks
