Your income does not count directly. but...it can get complicated. His ex will try very hard to slant things in her favor. Maybe try to make it look like he is living off of your paycheck and is not paying your bills. Or something else...I have seen a lot of dirty tricks. I can help you with this. Give me a call, make an appointment to come see me, and let's get moving on this for you. No charge for the telephone call and no charge for the first office visit.

You can't get what he doesn't have if he doesn't have it due to no fault of his own. For example, if he earns only 25% of what he was earning in 2007 because he was laid off and has not worked for three years and could only find a job paying substantially less, the court might thing of that situation as a changed circumstance requiring another look at the alimony number. And, yes, your ability to take care of yourself counts.

You income only counts for computing your husbands support obligation for any child he has with you. That number is inserted into the program for calculating his income based on his income and the income of the child's mother.
