[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is his income?
What do you mean by your lease is "ironclad"?  How long is it? What is the monthly rent?  Is there room to sublet a room to someone else?
What is the monthly child support amount?  Has it been adjusted to reflect that you have custody 99% of the time?[/quote]

He makes about $160k. My rent is $3600 for three bedrooms (myself and two kids). It is surprisingly average in our area. I just signed a lease for a year that doesn’t permit subletters so am locked in for 11 more months minimum. TX doesn’t adjust child support for percentage time; I am maxed out as is ($1600) for state limit. [/quote]

You need to be realistic about your spending.  At his income level, you cannot afford two houses at that cost.  You cannot afford $3600K.  You cannot keep the same lifestyle as you once had.  You may need to move out of the area.  That doesn't sound right that it mazes out at $1600 but that may be the guidelines amount given his income.  Get a good attorney and have them review everything.  Find a new cheaper apartment.  Get a two bedroom or one bedroom with a den and you get the den.[/quote]
