Mom is earning more money and is married with a joint income and still wants me to pay child support

[Just Blue]

that is not what I meant, they continue to be on my vision and medical and school uniforms, yeah that's me too. and picking up and dropping off to school and home, yeah that's me too.

Yeah...So what.

I am not complaining about all that. my gripe is, she is not way better off than ill be, and she is still asking for more. example; over the summer, she changed jobs not once, three times. she finally settled down, got a new car, and her new job requires her to drive from client to client. so she saids to me, " I now have a new car that wastes more gas, I need you to help me with and extra amount so I can have enough gas to be able to pic up our kids from school'
really?

OP, you don't owe one more dime than the order says you owe and if there s no order then the amount may be zero ....that said, either of you can address the formal process of getting an order in place ...you might be smart to crunch thru some of the estimators for your state ....First....Mom may be over reaching or under reaching ....Moms new car has little to do with child support math!

Then file for a formalized support and custody order.

Just keep in mind...BOTH parents are free to go to court and ask for things. Your children are entitled to support from BOTH of you, and if you're not contributing beyond the cost of dental and vision insurance and the occasional pick up, Mom is perfectly free to go to court and have the court nail down what you owe.

(BTW, I know what it costs to keep children on dental and vision insurance - next to nothing.)

I don't see that the OP has said anywhere that he was factoring in the new husband's income...I just see that the new wife is married and is earning more now.
