My ex is taking me back to court for more child support,my current wife owns a food trailer and everything is in her name. Can my ex count that as income towards child support?
Hello Wade, the rules vary by location. Could you please tell me where you are located?

Hello Wade,
In Minnesota, the following factors are generally considered when calculating child support:
- The income of both parents
- The number of children involved
- The amount of time each parent spends with the children
Income from a new spouse's assets, such as a food trailer, typically isn't considered in child support calculations, unless it significantly increases your standard of living. But it's best to consult with a local family law attorney to understand your specific situation better.
Thnk you!
You're welcome, Wade! If you have any more questions or need further clarification, don't hesitate to ask. Remember that having a good attorney by your side can be really helpful in these situations. Best of luck!
