A: Here's one thing you can do: Learn how to use periods! :) I really can't tell what the situation is from what you have written. Child support in Alabama is governed by a standard set of rules. The major factor in setting child support is income, of course. They DEDUCT the prior existing child support amounts when determining what your exes income is. You can always go back to DHR to have them recalculate child support based on your current situation. Whether it will increase or decrease your child support is anybody's guess.
