More details to this question:
If my husband and I divorced and I am awarded child support but we cohabitate in the same house due to the fact we can't afford to live apart, does that affect how much child support is awarded to me? And does his ex's child support get reduced or less able to get a modification for more?

His ex's support, if he was Ex # 1 is not affected in any way by you. If you are still living together, that should have been considered by the court when it was set. Once it was set, and yo were living together at the time, he has to pay the support to you, period, as that fact was already present and should not be a basis for not paying the support.
