Legal Question in Family Law in Oklahoma
Child Support Money
My ex and I divorced in 2007 and we both still live in Oklahoma and I�m on a set child support schedule. She has now remarried two months ago, just become pregnant and asking for more money for our daughter. Does her new husband�s income come into account for what I pay her?
The only reason I ask is because we share custody evenly and I don�t think she needs more money because she is now making more then I did from when we got divorced and our payments were set.
Let me know anything that you can or if you need anymore info from me.
Thank you.

Re: Child Support Money
Basically, child support is based upon the incomes of the parties and the number of nights the child spends with each parent. Your ex-wife's new husband's income would not be a factor in determining the child support.
