  2. It is estimated that 70% of Americans who divorce will remarry at some point in their lives. If you are one of them and you currently pay or receive child support, you may be wondering how getting remarried will affect your child support payments. Although it is not a simple issue, it is more straightforward than most people think. Here is how remarriage affects child support payments: If You Receive Child Support and Remarry If you have sole physical custody of your child or your child lives with you for the majority of the time, you are likely to receive child support. If you remarry, you will still receive child support payments. In most states, child support payments are not reduced or stopped when the custodial parent remarries. However, in North Carolina, your new spouse's income may be taken into account, which could result in a reduction in the amount of child support you receive. If You Pay Child Support and Remarry If you have partial custody of your child and pay child support, getting remarried will not affect the amount of child support you pay. Your new spouse is not responsible for supporting any children from previous relationships, and their income is not considered when determining the amount of child support you owe. However, if your disposable significantly after you remarry, your child support order may be reworked to increase the amount you owe. income increases

  3. Having More Children Does Not Impact Child Support If you have more children with your new spouse, it will not affect an established child support order. You are not legally responsible for financially supporting your former spouse's new children, and vice versa. However, if you pay child support, having more children with your new spouse is unlikely to result in a reduction of your payments.
