Re: Support
You are the only party responsible for financial support of the child, aside from the child's own mother. The court requires you to complete a Financial Disclosure Affidavit, on this form you are to list your financial liabilities and the portion that is paid by you and your wife. However, they won't ask for proof of her income and would not directly consider it unless there is a deviation from the guidelines.
