Both are incredibly hard to be successful with before the courts. You basically have to admit to the court that the other paying party you are trying to go after (new spouse/partner) is a parent and has the same responsibilities of a parent.
It is a "backwards" argument to make if you apply the logic in general for parents to expect that if the other parent gets married that new person is responsible for the children too. If that was the case no one would get remarried and there would droves of EOW parents taking matters back before the court trying to have CS reduced.
If Family Law was about "change" CS would be adjusted with every paycheck automatically. But, alas, it is done yearly for a reason.
Good Luck!
