Can part of my husband's gross income be considered mine for child support , in a community property state?
Find answers to your legal question.

I don't work. So isn't half of his income legally mine?
Additional Details
I am talking about how his child support to his ex is being calculated. If i can file an injured spouse and claim half of our tax refund as mine. Why can't I claim half of his income through the year as mine. Being that I am a stay at home mom?

no 33% is, thats it.

Because he was obligated to pay for this child before he met you. The decision for you to stay home should take into consideration that he has child support to pay.

Why should this child have less in life because his father's wife stays home? How does this benefit the child in any way shape or form?

No, that's not the way it works. If you divorce, typically 17% of his gross could go to you for child support for one child.

anything in life can be achieved with patience

answer mine plz (im desperate)

Looks like being a stay at home mom is about over.
No Court is going to give you 50% of his income off the top.
Welcome to the real world, now its time to start job searching.
