Not officially, no.

The income of the new spouse is simply one of the factors the court may review, but it is not dispositive and the parties may not rely on new income as a basis to increase or decrease support.

If you really have a shared plan there are deviations available that do not hinge on a new spouse's income.

Hope that helps. Elizabeth Powell
