I plan to marry later this year.  My fiancé is paying alimony, computed on his income.  When we marry, can his ex-wife ask for an increase in her alimony based upon my income and resources?  She doesn't/cannot/won't work so her alimony is all she has for income.  She has refused to become educated etc.   ♦ :confused:

Depends on where you live.  Most places, probably not.

Easy question and easy answer: No. Absolutely not. Your fiance's former spouse cannot seek an increase in support based upon your income. (Cal. Fam. Code Section 4323(b); see also In re Marriage Romero (2002) 99 Cal. App. 4th 1436.)
 
So, don't worry about it.
