• 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.

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.

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.

• 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.
