I have children from a previous marriage and am getting married during the latter part of this year. I currently reside in OK and will be relocating to TX after marriage. My fiance' and I were wondering if, after marriage, his income will be considered in mine and my ex-spouses child support calculations. If his income is considered, it could have a huge impact on the amount of support I receive.

If my fiance's income will be a factor in determining child support from my ex-spouse, will a prenuptial agreement put a halt on this determination if we specify that all our assets are to remain separate?

A new spouses income or financial contribution to the household is not generally considered when determining child support since the new spouse has no legal obligation to contribute to the financial support of theeir new spouse's children.
