QUESTION
Is my new husband's income counted in child support?
Asked on Nov 29th, 2014 on Child Custody - North Carolina
More details to this question:
I have remarried, if my child moves in with her grandma, would my husband's (stepfather) income be counted in child support? I'm a home mom so I don't work. At the moment the child's father pays me child support. I have custody of the child right now but the child wants to live with her father's mother. If that's what happens the grandmother would have custody. Would her father's support revert to the grandmother?

1. The stepfather has no legal obligation to support your child and his income is not counted toward child support calculations. However, if he is paying bills on your behalf, then some of that could be considered income to you. 2. The support continues to go to you until the court order is modified. Be aware that the grandmother, if she has custody of the child, can sue both you and the father for child support.
