Q: Since 2007, I have paid $280/mo for child support. My son is now 15 and no longer requires daycare or after school care.
In 2007, ex wife made 75k per year. She now makes 100k per year. My income is still the same, 50k per year. How much should I be paying for child support based on the revised 2018 income (vs. 2007)? Shared custody, my custody is approx 165 - 180 days per year.
A: Based upon the information you have provided, you certainly may be entitled to amend child support. The first step you should take is to consult a family law attorney. Give one a call, discuss your case, and figure out whether hiring a lawyer is best for you.
