From California (community property state):
Has anyone had this experience: my husband and his ex-wife have joint custody of their 3 children, physical custody split about 45-55% in her favor. She says now that he's married to me, his income has virtually doubled and she could therefore get more child/spousal support from him. Is this correct? Am I now responsible for paying for her children? Besides getting a divorce or quitting my job, how can we keep her from touching my income?

As much as Ex's saying they'll steal the kids, this happens. Some MUST pull others into their misery.
Find out from the Court, and at least for now, keep your incomes seperate, i.e. seperate accounts, etc. If he's providing the ordered rent for the kids, and the "stay-away-from-me" money to the ex-, she has n't much to argue about. KPS

There has been a similar question asked and answered...go to page 2, topic:Step-parent Child Support Obligations, date:July 20. IAAL is an attorney who answers questions on this board. His reply will help you! Rest assured, you are not responsible for paying. Good luck. :)
