Motions themselves are not the thing you have to worry about. It's the court Order that you have to follow. It sounds to me like Mother has filed a motion for child support. Depending on the circumstances there could be a hearing on child support or it could be done through DSS. Once a court order is entered for the new amount of child support then dad would be obligated to pay that amount.
