What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Indiana

My husband divorced with 3 kids with ex and he pays child support every week. I was told before that my income won't be counted in his Child support, but a friend told me it's not that simple, so I'd appreicate if any one can tell me whether it's true or not and how to avoid this kind of situation?

My husband and I planed to put my income in our saving accout(with both our name), and suppose some day I make about same amount money as him or even higher. If his ex sue us for higher Child support, Will the court take my part of income to pay Child support just because we use joint account and my income namely is my husband's?

If I put my income in an account with my name only, but I use the money to pay off this house which is under my husband name only. If she sue for higher Child support, will court count this part as my husband income and let him pay higher Child support?


We 2 are working hard to pay off this house and we want to buy a bigger house in 3 years. Say the bigger house we'll buy is under both name no matter I pay more or he pay more for it, if his ex sue for higher child Support, will she win the case?


Thannk you for your attention!

Doesn't this fit in with at least one of your bazillion other threads? :rolleyes:

Was your "friend" who told you all about child support an Indiana family law attorney, by chance?

she is not an attorney.

She told me about her brother-in-law's divorce, his second wife had a good job and they put money in same account and his ex sued and won. To avoid that situation, she had to quit the job. That's why I am asking those question in detail, wondering whether there's special reason behind their divorce or it's really like that?

Yeah, I know.

But in all honesty I think there's far too much information missing from OP's relaying of her BIL's situation...I doubt OP has all of the details at all.

exactly. so many people assume a ruling was given out because of one particular reason. and often it has NOTHING to do with it.

Please don't act smart and assuming something stupid.

Yes, the first sued for higher Child Support, and she won, so it's not the man pays the child support, part of money his second wife made goes to child support.

the second wife quit so the children from the first marriage couldn't eat???:confused:
The second wife quit because she had no reason to pay the child support who are not her children.

you need to realize something. unless you were acting as the attorney, you can never know what happened since you are not privy to ALL the information.

child support is NOT based on the new spouses income. EVER. the income the spouse makes can be INPUTED for the parent to be ordered to pay when it is proven the paying parent is reducing his/her income. the new spouse will never be held accountable for a child they did not create. the new spouse gets to walk away anytime they feel like it with NO repocussions.
