My ex-wife is expecting her second child, will she get more time with our son? 7 Answers as of January 30, 2012

The facts that you describe do not normally constitute ones that qualify as a "change of circumstance" that would warrant the court granting any change in the custody and visitation arrangement. You should fully discuss all of the relevant facts with a family law attorney to assess how best you should proceed.

A new child added to your ex wife's family by itself would not justify changing the shared parenting arrangement you currently have with your son.

No. The birth of your ex-wife's second child should not affect the 50/50 custody arrangement regarding your son.

One thing has nothing to do with another. It should not change the time share. What it can do is to affect child support to some extent because she will get half a hardship in the Dissomaster computation.

Probably not more time; however, she could request more child support based on the second child being either a hardship if she is not re-married. You, however, if this occurs, you can claim a hardship for your 3 stepchildren. If she is remarried and gets another divorce and obtains child support from the 2nd father, the child support programs try to equalize the child support so each child receives the same amount. Sometimes this lowers child support or if the other father is well to do, raises it. Or, the issue may never come up. I can't think of any reason having a child would be the basis of having the 1st child any more time.

I don't believe at this point that her time would increase do to the new birth.

Not necessarily. In fact it might be a basis to reduce the time because of the energy and time a new baby takes on a mom.
