Florida Child Support Laws

[cahcsh]

My fiance and I both live in Arkansas, however, his ex-wife lives in Florida. They have 3 minor children and she is going to get their jurisdiction changed to Florida (from Texas). She told my fiance that if he marries me, she will be able to use my income to increase her child support. My attorney told me that they do not use the spouse's income in Arkansas but does not know about Florida. Does anyone know if Florida will base the child support on my fiance's income alone or our combined income. Our incomes are similar.

Only in rare cases.. or if he is silly enough to try and get a reduction in CS by claiming any new children in the CS calculations.
