Will my ex husband still pay child support if I make more money now?

Most California Court's use the program called "DissoMaster" to calculate child support. It is a very complicated calculation which is based primarily on how much money each party earns and how much time each party spends with their child(ren). The DissoMaster requires a lot of other information to be considered, including, but not limited to the following: a) your tax filing status and how many exemptions you claim; b) how many children you have with the other parent; c) taxable vs. non-taxable income (wages, self-employment income, interest, dividends, rental income, capital gains, losses, etc.; d) your itemized deductions such as mortgage payment, property taxes, medical expenses, charitable contributions, etc.; e) whether you are remarried; f) adjustments to income; g) who pays health insurance and how much it costs; h) hardships; and i) other miscellaneous items and expenses. Given the limited amount of information provided by your question, it is difficult to determine whether you will still be entitled to receive child support without having additional information. However, be advised that it is the public policy of the State of California for each parent to contribute to the support of their children regardless of their respective income. Since this is a very complicated area of the law, you should consult with a Family Law Attorney or Forensic Accountant to discuss these issues in more detail.

Your ex husband is obligated to pay the same amount for child support unless and until he sues for a reduction. If he sues for a reduction, whether or not the reduction is granted will depend on how much your raise was, whether or not his income has increased during the same time, and a few other factors. If your raise was substantial and he still makes the same money, it is likely he will get a reduction, but not likely that his support will be eliminated unless you share 50-50 custody or he obtains more custody time.
