    It doesn't sound like it's the ex that's money hungry. I'm glad Dave stood up for the kids by telling the caller her husband has a responsibility to support those kids. The judge will decide how much support he pays, not the ex-wife.

    Calls her a money hungry ex, but goes on to admit that the ex has never asked for any type of increase in child support or extra money. She’s just making this all up in her own head.
    Don’t marry a man with kids if you can’t accept that he has financial responsibilities to them that can also sometimes change or increase.

      Dave’s advice is wrong. Depending on the state the support order was issued, both of their incomes could be used in the calculation for child support. MD is one of those states. He did not ask where the support order came from nor what the details of it were. If this woman thought this was going to be the case, it probably is.

    Dave, in the state of MD, the courts take account all money coming into the home for child support payments. This happened to my boss. Her husband paid child support. after new marriage it was re-computed way up due to her income being added to the calculation. they decided to wait for 3 years before they felt financially stable to have a child.

    Actually, in California, if you move someone in to your home, they take the fact that now you are paying less in rent and expenses into consideration because there is another person in the house and your expenses are cut. You can no longer get divorced and move in your new person without it affecting your support. My sister broke her ankle and told her ex husband that her boyfriend at the time, now husband, was going to be staying there to help with the kids until she could get back on her feet. Her ex husband said it was o.k. He then proceeded to take her to court, again, to try to say that the boyfriend had completely moved in and he should be able to pay less in support. First of all, what he paid her in the first place did not even cover hardly anything. Luckily my sister had kept the emails from the ex husband where he said it was o.k. Then my sisters boyfriend had to show proof that he owned his own place (mortgage papers) and paid his own utilities etc. Of course the ex husband lost in court. Stupid ex took her to court I don't know how many times for stupid reasons and lost every single time. The last time the judge had enough and made him pay her legal expenses, he never took her back to court after that. Also, as soon as you get married, your alimony stops. No more moving in someone until the alimony runs out.

    There are states that do include step parents income, so total household income, when calculating child support. She knew the children existed and were minors when she married him and she should be ready, willing, and able to be a bonus parent including paying a court decided % of their income will go to child support (and likely college expenses as well) If that bothers her she shouldn’t have married him and should correct her mistake.

      Think of it this way. If he had to pay 100% of rent (or mortgage) AND 100% of the utilities...and there was not someone with a second income in the "household" to pay their share, there's likely a higher number assigned as what he realistically "needs" just for his own basic expenses.

    Yeah, ex is entitled to court ordered child support...which could men husband can't afford to pay for your vacation because $6K per year (or whatever) is going to the child support. He made that kid, he needs to support it. Next point, anything that he is required to pay a portion of, like 50% of uninsured medical expenses or dance lessons, tutoring or anything else the court mandates, he should pay directly to the person owed--the doctor hospital, tutor, or whoever, not to the ex. And Dave is wrong--in many states the husband's household income can be used to calculate child support, so in that case the new wife's income would also count. By the same token, if the new wife has a baby and wants to be a stay at home mom, he can petition the court to decrease child support based on her lack of income in that situation.
