CA Child support Laws

in Wedding Recap and Withdrawal
I'm marrying a wonderful man who is a father to a 20 yr old, 17 yr old and 15 yr old. Sad to say the ex wife tries to get money from him any way she can...mind you with her full time job as a school teacher, part time job and child support she makes about $10,000 a month. The children are takin care of by the grandma, aunts and the father when ever they need anything. 18yr old was driving a brand new Mustang when she turned 18 yrs old that matched her mom's.
Can the ex come after my income for child support?

    You're best off asking your attorney on this one (though I do believe over 18 years are considered adult?). Good luck.

    I am not an attorney, but have some experience in CA CS laws... Your income is not considered, however your combined income/tax status could affect the amount of money required for your household - so in essence he could see an increase because his living expenses will be assumed to be shared with you.

    There is a CA child support calculator on the DCSS that takes everything into account.  99% of the time, the outcome of this calculator is ordered.

    I'm no attorney but I was under the impression he wouldn't have to pay for anyone over 18yrs of age. Unless he owes child support from previous years he did not pay. I could be completely wrong and asking an actual attorney would be the best course of action.
