If your income has increased by 20% or if it has been at least 3 years since the last court order was entered, you ex can take you back to court for a child support review and increase. If your income has increased, you owe more child support. Any other factors, such as having additional children to support, come in as deviations to the base child support calculation (See NRS 125B.080(9)).

Support is based upon income and percentage of time spent with the children. You should consult a family law attorney to review the facts and run some numbers and advise you. The fact that you have other children and your ex doesn't work will affect how much you have to pay and if any change is likely to be ordered.

Child support can be modified any time there is a 15% change in what is paid to the other party, whether it is more or less. They do take into account any minor children that are currently living in your home or that you are currently providing support. You might need to have your child support checked to determine if your it may be paying less as a result or more if your income has increased significantly since the divorce has been final.

Child support in Michigan is calculated by a formula it depends on the amount you make, the amount of time you spend with your child (e.g. the overnights per year you have the child), the number of other dependents. Since you have had 3 more children if you have not had a recalculation of child support and are not making a substantial amount more of money it is likely you have cause to have your child support lowered.

Child Support can be modified up or down by request of either parent based on changes in income or timeshare that have occurred since the last order was calculated. However, changes can only be made retroactive to the date of court filing, not the date they began.

In Nevada she is entitled to a review of child support every three years.

Child support in OK is based on a set of guidelines unless the parties agree otherwise and the court approves. If your income has increased, or hers decreased, or if the nights with each parent have changed,or if other children now exist are all factors that would go into the guideline formula to calculate if a change is appropriate.

Child support is based upon the net earnings of the paying party. If there are other dependent children by a second relationship, the percentage to be paid as support is reduced.

Child Support Formula, to "run the numbers." You do receive a "credit" under the Formula for the 3 kids you have had since your divorce, but you still need to analyze your current income versus your income at the time of your divorce, and the same for your ex-wife, among other factors.

If the DOM was in Florida the answer is yes. Any party may request a court to review child support at anytime until the last child emancipates.
