Legal Question in Family Law in Pennsylvania
My son is divorced and planning to re-marry. His ex-wife has custody of his 6 year old daughter and he pays child support. He ex-wife has communicated to him that she is looking forward to him getting married so she can then get more child support since his household income will increase. This doesn't sound reasonable but wanted to be sure that the support calculations are only based on his income and the new wife has no obligation under a support arrangement.
Thank you ...

It isn't. The new spouse's income doesn't count towards his income.
