Child support payments are not taxable to the recipient (and not deductible by the payer). When you calculate your gross income to see whether you're required to file a tax return, don't include child support payments received.
After a divorce, it's common for one spouse to make payments to the other as part of the divorce agreement. These payments can be alimony, child support or a mix of both.
Texas child support law does not take into consideration the payee spouse's (obligee) income or the income of the obligor's spouse.
In short, while there are instances where a remarriage will have an impact on the level of child support, unless your ex's new spouse legally adopts a child, they are not responsible for child support. Furthermore, their income won't have an impact on what is currently agreed upon.
In Texas, some things can disqualify you from spousal support. These include: Cohabitation: If you live with someone else in a marriage-like relationship, you may be disqualified for spousal support. Remarriage: If you remarry before your spousal support obligation ends, you may be disqualified for further payments.
Fortunately, courts in Texas often recognize and award financial support in these cases. Financial support could consist of things like child support or spousal support.
