Can an ex ask for more child support if both parents has equal legal and physical custody of both children? When they divorced 8 years ago, the arrangement through the court was that 1) they both have equal legal and physical custody of both children, 2) both children be under the insurance of the father's employer, 3) the father was ordered to pay $60.00/month for child support, 4) the ex-wife was ordered to pay $30.00/month to the husband for the health insurance he is providing through his work for the children.
Along the way, the ex-wife stop paying that $30.00/month. The child support he pays is automatically taken out from his checks. He doesn't care and doesn't ask for that $30.00/month from her. But 8 years later, he is making more money, and her income status hasn't change, can she request and get approve for more child support? They still share equal legal and physical custody of both children. Will the judge approve such a request, given that they share equal legal and physical custody of both children?
