Re: child support
does "over mine" mean you are petitioning the court for child support from your current partner?
Generally, the court will not let subsequent (younger) children affect the distribution dictated by statute. Thus the younger child usually gets a little less.
If you would like to provide more information so that I better understand your question, feel free to respond.
