More details to this question:
My sons father pays a very minumum as when we filed 8 yrs ago he wasn't making much money. He doesn't help with my sons expenses. I pretty much pay for everything by myself with no help other than th chump change he gives. Will I be able to take him to get re-evaluated and actually get more or will I be wasting my time taking him? I would like to get help where it's fair and it hasn't been for a very long time. Thank you!!

You have the right to petition for a modification to child support. Request that the support be increased because it fails to meet your child's needs and because the father's income has increased more than 15%. In addition, you have the right to file a modification every 3 years or at least 15% increase in his income. Good luck.
