The amount of my custody for my 7 1/2 year old son has increased. How do I determine if the amount of child support should be adjusted?

Re: Child custody change and support payments.
If everything else is constant, a fair amount of extra time will decrease support. The increase needs to be reflected in a court order first, not just in practice. Assuming that's the case, you'll need to consult an attorney who can run the numbers based on time share and relative income of the parties.
