Only your wife’s income will be considered for child support purposes, not yours. Dad could argue an earning capacity such that, even if her income is $0.00, a conference officer could assign her a phantom income for support purposes. However, if dad makes a significant amount, it will likely not amount to much.
I trust this answers your question, and if you are in the Delaware Valley, do not hesitate to call or email on a free initial basis.
