If we wanted to have the child support redone and changed does spousal support count as income for the other person if they are receiving it from another exhusband.

Yes it does. Under Michigan Child Support Guidelines Section 2.01(F) it states in part:
2.01 (F) The following list outlines types of income from which parents' incomes should be determined. Although the list includes common forms of income, it is not exhaustive and other sources may be considered. These types of income are for the purpose of establishing child support and may not correspond to the sources of taxable income as set forth by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS)...
(29) Alimony/Spousal Support paid by someone other than the other parent in the case under consideration.
Thus, if one parent is receiving spousal support from another ex-spouse it is treated as income when determining support.
