My ex wife and I share 50/50 custody. We've been very amicable in our divorce and we've split everything down the middle. We even went to court without lawyers. We have 2 children together and they are on her insurance. Due to this, and our 50/50 split, I pay a fairly minimal amount of child support to supplement the amount paid for health insurance. She is getting ready to be married this weekend and move in to her new husband's house. She is getting ready to have another child and we were going over scenarios today where if she were to leave her job and go on his health insurance, would it make more sense to put my kids on my health insurance if her income would go down to 0? Her new husband has a good job, makes good money and we have the same health insurance provider. If we were to go back to court and re-assess the child support, would I end up paying more even if the kids are on my insurance due to the fact that her income would go down to zero? Would her husband's income play a factor in that?
Thank you for your time.
