Is a Step Parent’s Income Included When Calculating Child Support?
Posted on 07. May, 2009 by Alabama Divorce Lawyer, Jim Jeffries in Child Support
I am often asked whether a step-parent’s income is included for the purposes of calculating child support. The answer under Alabama law is “No.” In Alabama, child support is based on the gross monthly income of each of the parents. If one parent as remarried, that parent’s spouse’s income is NOT included when calculating child support.
