Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

I have been paying more in child support than I supposed to. currently the case is in appeals and we should be hearing something shortly. If the ruling is overturned and my ex owes me money back can I go after her tax return in the spring? I also just recently had a child with my girlfriend how is child support determined now with this change is circumstance?
