You should consider re-opening the case. You can check the amount you should be getting at any of a number of online child support calculators.

The court goes by reported income and documentation w-2's, etc., (paper trail) which is calculated by a financial formula. I could be wrong, but there seems like there is more to the story!

In any event, you should file a complaint for modification of child support, if whay you say is accurate!

Also, is the Department of Revenue collecting the child support for you? If so, you may ask them to bring forth a modification.

Good luck! Sincerely, Maria Murber
