Child Support
I have remarried, will my present wifes income be considered by the Family Courts? We have been filing a joint return, should we be filing seperate returns?

Re: Child Support
Under the CSSA, the new spousal income
is not to be used in the formula
It could come into play if a "needs
analysis" is done, because it becomes
"available" to offset household expenses
But a needs analysis is done only where
there is a lack of cooperation and/or
special needs for the child
You may want an attorney to review it all

if desired

Filing separate returns in not necessary.
If your ex wife sues based on your current wife's income, retain and attorney and fight the case.
