Legal Question in Family Law in California

Re: I have a baby outside of my marriage

If you are asking how will the amount of child support be affected by your wife's income, then the answer is that her income is not considered except in specified extraordinary circumstances were non-consideration of your wife's income would cause "extreme and severe hardship" to the child subject to the child support award or if you were to volutarily or intentionally quit work or reduce your income or intentionally remain unemployed or underemployed in order to avoid paying child support again, only if it works to create an "extreme and severe hardship" to the child. See California Family Code Section 4057.5.

Hope this helps.
