    Can my new wife be made to my child support for my 15yo from a previous relationship?
    I just got married in March. My ex just filed for child support for our daughter that will be 15 next month. I am currently unemployed and receiving unemployment insurance. My wife has seen my daughter maybe 10 times in 3 years.

    Will my wife's income be taken into account when I go to court?

    No. Just your income. Your wife's income has nothing to do with your obligation for child support.

    Well? While they can not garnish or take her income, I do believe from hearing discussions on here that some states take into consideration "household" incomes. So I will say it may actually depend on state.

    But normally it is merely based on YOUR income and sometimes the ex's income.

    But even unemployed, you will have payments due.

    I would wonder why you have not been already making payments
