child support question

[Ekir]

Hopefully I can clearly communicate this question, however, I'm still confused on how to ask it so here is my best shot

I'm paying child support now in accordance with Alabama law.  At the time of the divorce my wife had a job and using the Alabama guidlines we figured out how much I owe her every month.

She is now remarried and quit her job, since she doesnt have to work anymore.  My question is do my payments stay the same, do they go up, what happens?  If she didn't have a job when we got divorced, my payments would have been higher obviously to brunt the majority of the child's finacial needs, but now she's remarried and her new husbands brings in the money so she quit, but I know he isn't accountable for my child's needs (nor would I want him to be).  Hopefully that wasn't too confusing of a question.  If anyone needs clarification, I'll try my best.

You did fine. No change will happen until one of you asks the court for it. So if neither of you files, it stays the same. If one of you files and Mom claims no income, you would have the option of arguing that she is voluntarily unemployed. If the judge finds she is, the judge is required to impute to her the income she would otherwise be earning.
