I'm in Ca. and have a question on support issues. I don't mind paying my regular monthly support and have never skipped it. I've never missed a visitation or custody day or weekend and have made every known appointment and coached every game for my 6 year old. So basically, I feel like I am a good dad and very much am involved in my child's life. Here's the issue. The support I am paying was based on my income and my ex's income when our child was two, 4 years ago. Now, my ex is remarried, has voluntarily quit her job to be a stay at home mom for her new 1 year old and I'm still paying the same support. I've had a couple of raises since our original support order was formed. Would I be screwed if I went to court to get a new support order drawn up and attempt to get a new visitation order and do they then look at her new hubby's income? Of course, I don't get to claim my son on taxes and I have to give portions of bonuses, based on pre-tax amounts as well. Is it worth it to try to get a new order established?
