What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? = Pennsylvania
My ex-wife and I have been divorced since 2006.
We share joint custody of our two boys. I pay for all of their medical insurance and we split all other costs 50/50.
She is remarried and so am I. She is now pregnant (very early in the pregnancy). She is claiming that the she is sick "24/7" due to the pregnancy and may have to go on disability from work. She has stated that she is considering filing for child support as an option to get more income. Her husband barely works so they rely primarily on her income.
I currently earn about $5,000 a year more than she does.
My concern is this: can she use this pregnancy as a legitimate excuse to quit work and then get child support from me? She was awarded CS in the past when I earned more than she did but then the CS was dropped when my own income became lower than hers for over a year.
thanks for the help and let me know if additional information is needed.
