no...usually it goes by percentages of what you made last year or if you bring in your current checks....If you have the same job then it should not go up...

If you look at the actual form that they use to figure out child support no allowance is made for amount of the parents debt or lack there of. It is solely how much the parent makes and child related expences like daycare or medical. There was a part in there on the one in my state that made an allowance for if the parent had a medical condition and was requiered to pay for thier own medical treatment and/or medicine but that was it.
