Will my income be taken into consideration for child support payments? 30 Answers as of September 20, 2011

In Georgia, the answer to that question is No, as a general rule. If he tried to get a modification, the Mother might try to count what you pay towards his expenses (rent or mortgage,for example) as gift income to him. I have not, however, seen a judge accept that argument before.

No, your income would not be counted for his child support obligation, even if you were married. If he didn't work because you could support your new family, they would "impute" income to him to determine his child support. It would be based on his work record and income, not yours. The practicality is though you'll feel the impact of his child support obligations by having less total income for your new family if you have one. Be sure to take that into consideration.

Your income will not be used in computing child support for children that are not yours.

When calculating a child support obligation, only the incomes of the parents are taken into consideration.

A new spouse income is not considered in a child support award. The only calculation that a new spouse income is included in is for the tax filing basis.

The simple answer is no you do not have to pay for his child.

The general answer is no, your income would not be included on the child support worksheet when determining child support for your boyfriend's child, even if you were married.

While there is no law that says they will look at your income a judge may consider your resources as affecting his ability to pay, so indirectly, it may affect you.

In Arkansas child support is determined by the after tax income of the non-custodial parent, not the new spouse, so the answer is no.

No, a new spouse's income may not be taken into consideration when calculating support amounts.
