Re: how much??more can she get
The courts don't care so much about children you had after the original marriage and children, so that won't matter. However, you are paying a small amount for support right now. I expect if she would file a motion it would go up significantly, although I can't tell you specifically without knowing health insurance and child care costs. The judge always has the right to lower it, so it may be in your best interest to get a local lawyer to represent you.
