Child support is based upon the parents ability to pay. This is based upon many factors and may in some cases include the benefit that the new spouse adds to the equation but under normal circumstances, no child support should not increase in this situation. If the custodial parent files a petition for an upward modification, you must consider getting a qualified family court attorney to represent you.
