A: In order to modify the child support because one of the children is moving in with you, you must petition the court to modify the child support. Without the request for a modification, then the numbers cannot be changed retroactively. You should seek an attorney to assist with this as mistakes in child support are multiplied since you're paying every week.

Good luck.
