Legal Question in Family Law in Michigan

Child support

Does my ex-wife re-marrying affect my child support payments? Will my remarrying? my ex-wife has claimed one of our children as a dependent on her new husband's income taxes-as long as he is not responsible for support, can she she do that? (she does not work).

Remarriage will not affect support obligations as they still are your kids and her kids. She probably filed a joint tax return with the new husband and that is why she took the child as a dependent. Many times, a well drafted divorce judgment, takes such dependency exemptions into account. William S. Stern
