If you are talking about child support, then NO, the income and expense declaration only have room for your and your ex's income info. If you mean spousal support, that ends immediately if you re-marry.

By statute, the new spouse's income is not considered in calculating guideline child support, other than to determine the tax consequences (higher or lower tax bracket). For further information, visit http://www.ellifritzlaw.com .
