Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey
My boyfriend and I have two small children.
He also has an older child for whom he pays child support in the amount of 187 weekly.
His current salary of 90k
the custodial mother makes around 40k
Our two children were not born when this amount was arrrived at.
this amount was also put into place before his current job at this salary.
we also have a mortgage of 1700 a month and i am not working.
My question is, if he were to attempt to go back tot he courts to seek a reduction, would it likely be granted based on our two children and his living expenses, or would he end up facing higher payments as a result?
Is there a standard formula that is used so we could have a way to know without gambling on it?

It perhaps would be best if he sought a down-ward modification as a married man with two additional children.
If a man gets married and has more children and his income stays the same, then he should be able to get the Court to reduce the child support payment. I can not give you any dollar estimate until I get more information from you.
