The terms of the support order will remain the same wheather you or your ex-wife reside in NJ or PA. The income of a new spouse is not calculated in child support cases.

I agree with the prior answer. Because both of you now reside in PA, all future issues may be decided by a PA court. If you have any other questions, please contact my office at 732-663-1500.

Thank you.
