[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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 doubt it. The first kids take from the top. Subsequent kids get what's leftover. [/quote]

True if he is paying support to multiple women.

Not true if he is paying childcare expenses for a baby living with him full time. [/quote]

There is minimal calculation in DC for the new baby. It is a straight off calculation.
Op pay close attention to the wording on the MD calculator. And yes you can make an argument that household income should be a factor as he is not paying for the baby alone and in light of the household disparity because he's not pay and equitable share to your first in time two.
At the very least you will strain the marriage. It will fracture and she too will file. That is when you definitely need to have had any increase accounted for in court order[/quote]
