is support lower if new wife is disabled?

Hello,
i am trying to get an answer to a very simple question. We are in ohio. I had a child out of wedlock 13 years ago, was not ALLOWED to see her by her mother her whole life (tried many times, the always "hid" in their house and pretended not to be home when i visited) Anyway, to make al ong story short i was served last week with papers stating that I have to pay child support from here on out, and she also wants back support!!! i am barely paying my bills i have now, and my wife can not work anymore due to having Myasthena Gravis (she applied for disability but has not heard results yet)so she is unable to work. I also just took a job at 29K becuase i was laid off from my last job of 7 years making 45K. I do not know how i am going to manage this esp. with my wife not being able to work. My question is: Is child support payment going to be less since my wife is disabled? ANy help or info would be greatly appreciated as i am new to this whole support thing. Thank you and God Bless <>< Mark

The support obligation will be calculated by your income and that of the bio-mother's income. Your new wife has nothing to do with this.

I suggest you contact a Family Law attorney in your area. While the bio-mother is enforcing child support, you will want to have some sort of visitation arrangement established so you are sure to see your child.

you should get an attny to assist you
and inform you of your rights to visitation and your resposibility of support. Most state do not base your income including hers but you need to find out.
Also you can inform the court of your circumstances

This child is 13 and he has known about the child the whole time. (as it appears) If he was serious about wanting a relationship with this child, he most likely would have filed for a permanant visitation agreement a long ago. And if there is a visitation agreement, then if he was serious about wanting a relationship he would have had it enforced. He is obligated to financially support this child, and if he hasn't for the last 13 yrs he has gotten lucky that it took so long to enforce this obligation. He will is liable for 13 yrs of back child support plus another 6 yrs until the child is 18.

The disabled wife in this sitation will have no effect on the support either way because she is not obligated to support the child, the Father is.
