day care costs/ child support

YOUR STATE NAME - California
My X is trying to find a new job. I am fairly positive it will mean a reduction in her monthly income. Her current employer pays child care costs. If she leaves her current job does this mean my support goes up, and I have to start forking out child care costs?
She is making good money where she is, and has a great schedule. There is no reason for her to be leaving this job except to try and get more $ out of me. Does she have a chance?

Yes there is a chance of you paying more for Child Care Costs. That will be worked into your support order.
I know that since I have been back to work in the past year, I need to go back to court to get the Child Care Costs put into the child support order. I just haven't had the time but plan to soon since it is costly.

I would speak to a lawyer and see what your options are. The court could find that she is voluntarily leaving her employment and find her responsible for her own child care costs. It's not unheard of.

I wouldn't wait till I was served with papers or she finds another job talk to one now.

Be sure that if this comes about and you do have to start paying child care costs, that you have that cost listed somewhere as a seperate number from the regular child support. Yes, it still counts as child support, but you need to have the papers worded so that when the child is withdrawn from day care, you no longer have to pay the daycare amount.
