This situation seems a little unusual. Why would he be paying her child support if they are not divorced? The child support is usually a decree from the divorce settlement, which has not happened.

No, the mother getting remarried, has no effect on child support.

It is the parent who does not have custody incomes, so if the X with custody gets married, their income has nothing to do with how much child support the non custody parent pays.

The income of the non custody parent is what matters, if they get a raise, the x with custody can come and ask for more.

It is often that the person with custody will be making twice as much or three times as much as the person paying child support.

Now it is based on how much he makes, but also has some minimums that the court looks at. So she can of course ask for more if a certain time has went by ( inflation) so without more details it is hard to tell if the court will hear her request.
