Ex wants more

[majomom1]

I do think she is bluffing, but wanted to check.

I did recently get promoted, which increased my income by about 10-15%. If she pushes for a modification based on my increased income, will the court take into account that she now has income of her own in addition to the spousal support I give her?
I am pretty certain that she is making, on her own, significantly more than the 10-15% increase I receive with my promotion. And if that is the case, could the court, even though she initiated the review, order the CS to decrease? I have no intention to reduce what I am paying, but if that is a possibility it may explain why I'm getting threats via email from my X rather than a legitimate modification request.

Thank you all for the prompt responses. This site continues to provide a great service in reducing anxiety during and after divorce.

Oh yes. This could backfire on her if she is now earning more income.

Yes, that could happen. Use the CS calculator I gave you earlier and plug in your best guess of the various numbers.
