I share custody of my daughter who will be traveling to a foreign country for 6 months. Recently, physical custody changed from a 50-50 split to a 75-25 split and thus I am paying my x wife a significant increase, per the dissomaster. I provide health insurance and we share all expenses 50-50. I also pay my x-wife alimony. Should I return to the 50-50 dissomaster support amount or is there a reduction since my daughter will not be living in my x wife's home? We also have an agreement to split education fees.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?

You can't unilaterally change the child support amount. You could try to get it changed, but you probably won't get a hearing until after the trip is over, so it's probably a lot of effort and expense for nothing.

Who's paying for the trip?
