She could, but your entire income in not considered only a percentage. Unless you make several hundred thousand dollars a year, it should not have any effect. See an attorney in the jurisdiction that will be asked to change the child support and see what the practice is there by the Court. Otherwise, sign a prenup......but I really do not think it will amount to much. Lastly, he should be paying more than the chart dictates anyway if he was really a fabulous dad.
