You can hold a spouse accountable for their "opportunity" pay. Meaning, for example, if she's a nurse who would normally make $40-60k, and she works at McDonalds making $7/hour, then you still get your child support assessed on the $40-60k. At least that's Ohio. My attorney told me there are MANY guys who would gladly work at McDs just to make their spouse suffer, which is why the courts instituted that. However, in the grand scheme of things, the new man has ZERO responsibility to your child - legally, your W should use all of your child support to buy food, clothes, etc for your child, but I'm suuuuuure that'll happen.
Also, I think you'll be surprised how much courts work nowadays to ensure split/equal time.
