Hi
under NY law, there is a statutory 3 year look back which would be used to modify your child support. Since I don’t know whether you have an agreement in which child support is addressed, I don’t know whether you addressed modifications or waived them. If not, then you can go to family court and file a petition for an upward modification of support.
i hope this helps
