A: No, he pays for expenses when your child is with him. Also, if you think he's earning a lot more, or has a lot more money than he did since the last child support order, or if it's been more than 3 years since the last order, or there has been another significant change is circumstances (you make a lot less) you can file a petition for an upward modification of child support
