Can The Court Include My new Spouse’s Income When Determining Child Support? | Friendship Heights Attorney

Video Overview

Child support belongs to the child and is the right of the child to be supported by both biological parents, regardless of a family split.

Only the income and expenses attributable to both biological parents are taken into account.
