Hello,
I am currently in a common law relationship. We both are divorced and each have two children from previous marriages. My spouse has been paying spousal support as well as child support to his ex wife for the last 6 years. They were married for 7 years. I have a full time job and make $80k per year. I receive child support from my ex husband for my two children. My spouse makes $85k per year and is paying $2500 per month for child support/spousal support. His ex wife has a part time job making approximately $15k per year. She is not looking for full time employment because she claims she needs to be home with the children after school (although there are days when her children are with her parents after school because she is working). The ex wife had also previously been in a relationship but has now ended it. Since the end of her relationship she has threatened to get more money from my spouse. My question is: Would my income become a factor in either more child support or spousal support? My spouse moved in with me. I currently pay all the everyday bills of running the household and the house is mine and in my name. One of the reasons we have put off marriage is because we are afraid she can come after my income. Can anyone please share their experiences with something like this? I have researched the internet and I have not found any good examples.
thanks,
