More details to this question:
Divorced in July. Did it ourselves. Child support says that neither party will pay but that the 'non-custodial parent would provide medical and contribute to all necessary expenses of the children.' It is ambiguous because I didn't foresee issues. I ask for half of things I buy for them. There is always resistance and payment isn't consistent. The only contribution is for clothes and activities. i don't get anything additional related to everyday living expenses. I would like to re-evaluate and have a set amount monthly. Looked it up and says support can be revisited every 3 years or if there is a significant change of income. Neither of these are the case and I would like to know if I need to wait another 2.5 years for additional financial assistance from the non-custodial parent.

It is always tentative to comment on documents that you have not actually read, but if the language is as vague as you indicate, it is probably possible to have the judge "construe" the language to make it more certain -- and perhaps just replace it with a more typical support provision. You should probably consult with a family law specialist before deciding whether to file a motion, and should consider asking your ex to simply alter the terms first, since it appears that the existing terms are not really satisfactory for either of you.
