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.
