You really should get this modified officially, because as long as the orders go unmodified dad is still on the hook for all three, you can google your states child support calculator and see if they have a formula for split custody...

If they don't...generally what happens is...

support is figured out for what he would pay you for two kids
support is figured out for what you would pay him for one kid

subtract the first second number from the first....that is the support amount
