[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]

The online calculator is not always accurate.  It is $$$ for summers and other care, but that is how you do it when you do child support.  Child support is supposed to be inclusive otherwise you agree to split all expenses in both homes 50/50% which typically is not done.  You can look at cheaper options like pulling her from private to public school, county camps, sending her to relatives if you have any for long breaks or letting him have a extended summer visit and then camp becomes his issue.[/quote]
