  1. How does remarriage affect child support?

  2. Divorce and child support are one of the most confusing areas of law in our country. Not only do these laws vary from one state to another, but also have some of the most unpredictable rules. Turns out, many divorced parents in the state of Utah believe that remarriage may affect the amount of child support the remarried parent is paying to the custodial parent.

  3. DOES REMARRIAGE AFFECT CHILD SUPPORT? Contrary to the popular belief, remarriage itself does not affect the amount of child support you are paying. Even if your new wife earns millions of dollars per month, her earnings will not be included in child support calculations. Child support is determined only based on your own income, not the income of your new wife or husband.

  4. HOW CAN CHILD SUPPORT BE MODIFIED Experienced child support attorney in Salt Lake City says that “If your future spouse gives or transfers you money (as opposed to sharing household expenses with you) on a regular basis, this will most likely count as a stream of unearned income, which will be included in child support calculations.”

  5. You or the other parent of your child may increase or in any other way modify child support if he or she can demonstrate proof that there has been a “considerable change of circumstances” since the original order came into effect.

  6. Let’s review some of the most common situations which may qualify as “considerable change of circumstances”: • The paying parent has experienced a significant increase or decrease in his or her income (more often than not, this increase or decrease must be 10 percent or more); • The receiving parent has experienced a significant increase or decrease in his or her income; • Involuntary loss of job by the paying or receiving parent;

  7. • A substantial increase or decrease in the needs of the child; • One of the parents experiencing financial struggles as a result of an injury, illness, disability or for any other reason; • A change in the cost of living. If you have more questions about child support and divorce, consult with Salt Lake City divorce attorney from Emy A Cordano,Attorney At Law.
