Re: Remarriage effecting child support
Your paramour's or new spouse's income is not calculated for your child support obligation. However, if your expenses are reduced due to your living situation, that could be a reason for the hearing officer to deviate from the guidelines. I would not presume that you or he will pay more simply because the two of you become married.
I trust this has been helpful, but feel free to call or e-mail with further questions.
