Child's father went filed a 102 divorce in August of 17 judge signed in Sept 17 they had a hearing in Oct 17 so that he doesn't have to pay much child support to my child. Him and his wife never separated nor did they finalized their divorce yet its been two years since all of this has happened. He was ordered to pay her child support and interim spousal but their still living together? What will happen if I file for modification to increase? And he still uses the same address after his filing of everything.

A: You need to consult with a child support attorney because your question is very confusing. Subsequent child support orders do not affect the earlier child support order.
