[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The new wife's income won't matter, but he still has an obligation to pay for his first two kids.

Have you done the child support calculator for Maryland? I just ran your incomes, and he should be paying you $1174 a month for two kids.   But this doesn't take into consideration any day care you need or who's paying for their health insurance.

And who gets to claim the kids on their taxes?  I hope it's you.[/quote]

Isn't there a risk of getting less than this if taken back to court since ex has a new child with presumably higher expenses due to daycare rather that kids who don't need childcare?[/quote]

I agree with this. The last year I got CS for my older DD, X got a reduction because the old calculation still included Childcare costs. His income had increased, but my NECESSARY expenses for her were lower. Didn't matter that SATs, senior dues, college applications, and other costs of having a 12th grader were actually more than daycare had been.[/quote]
