Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

Never satisfied
My ex and I went to court for modification of child support 3 days ago. I was represented by my attorney. For the purposes of setting child support, the department of revenue reviewed a visitation order that was set into place this past January 7th, 2009 by a Florida family judge and determined I was getting the children .48% of the time and she was getting them .52% of the time. My ex did not agree that I was getting the children .48% of the time and said I was only getting them .40% of the time. Because her income is about 2$ more per hour than mine I was awarded child support in the amount of 20$ per week. I was ordered to pay $100 a month for arrearages. Apparently she is not happy with outcome and has threatened to appeal stating that both my attorney and the DOR miscalculated the percentage of time I have the children and the judge was unfair for not calculating CS based on me having them .40% of the time. My question is: do you think, based on this quick summary she has a chance at a successful appeal and gaining more money from me? If I have to retain my attorney again for the appeal and the court does not change the original finding, can I counter sue for my attorney�s fees or am i at her mercy?
