[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you go to court and the support is raised and the increased support means he has to take a second job to afford the support and life and therefore he can no longer see his daughter very often, will you be happy with this outcome?[/quote]

Of course not....The reality is he could take 2 or 3 other jobs but if you're not responsible with your finances it really doesn't matter how much you make.

I'm going back and forth with leaving it alone and pursing it because our child's expenses are going to increase. It's $50 - $60 a day for someone to take care of her when school is closed and we can't take off. Not to mention summer camp is expensive. Hopefully, we can just look at the calculator online together and go from there. But, he thinks he's doing me a favor by giving me the amount that he gives to me. So not sure how well it's going to go with him.[/quote]

You said that he routinely pays his required support and that when he had two jobs he voluntarily chose to give you an additional $300 a month. That really doesn't sounds like someone who is not responsible with their finances. Yes, it would be great if he voluntarily contributed more. I don't know if he can afford to or not. Both of you have to maintain households as your daughter splits her time. your differences in income (including child support added/subtracted) are only apart by a couple thousand dollars a year. Sed him a link to the calculator. It seems your daughter is the one who will lose out in this fight.[/quote]
