My former spouse has remarried and has a new child. How will that effect the amount of child support I receive for our child(ren)?
Every effort is made to treat all the children of a payor fairly. In such a situation, calculations are made as to what the current support amount is for your child(ren) and what the guideline figure would be for children from the new relationship. If these two figures added together do not exceed 50% of the payor’s net income, no adjustments will be made to the child support received by you. If the combined figures do exceed 50% of the payor’s income, an adjustment may be made.
