Legal Question in Family Law in Maryland

Re: Child support modification

YOU should take HER back to court for a modification if she is indeed making twice as much as she did at the time of the child support order. If she is making that much more then you could likely have your child support obligation reduced! So in answer to your question, yes, she can take you back for a modification for child care expense, but you could likely seek a reduction of your monthly amount as well.

Re: Child support modification

Yes, the work-related child care expense is a basis for a modification of child support. Depending on the particular facts regarding your income and hers, and the cost of the child care, it is also possible that even with the addition to your child support of a part of her day care costs, your child support might be reduced because of her income increase. If she files for an increase, consult with an attorney to see if you might be entitled to a reduction and, if so, file a counterclaim for the reduction. No one can tell you whether your child support will go up or down without first looking at the numbers.
