Decent Dad,
In response to your most recent post:

you have the kids 50-50 and are ordered to pay full support

If a parent has access to the child[ren] more than 40% of the time, it is likely that child support will be readjusted or made payable by setting off each party's child support obligation against each other. So, although it is true that a parent who has the children 50% of the time would technically be paying full child support, please keep in that the other parent would be paying full child support as well.

That is something that is always missed in all the newspaper horror stories of the man not disclosing income increases so the ex could get more support.

Please note that the onus is on the child support recipient to request financial disclosure from the payor (normally the possibility of review is once per year) for the purposes of increasing child support. When disclosure is requested, however, full and frank disclosure must be provided.

Unfortunately you must petition the court and file a motion to get your support re-evaluated

Just to make things clear to other members - child support must only be adjusted by motion if it has been set out by court order. With a separation agreement, the parties could sign an amending agreement stating the new child support amount or mediate the issue if they are not able to agree on the issue.
