Nope. The judge will still add in your “share” of the support whether you work or not.

So you said the words several times but still don’t get it… say it with me “CHILD SUPPORT “ that money is not meant to support you. It’s for your children! To give them what they need, not you.
That would be called spousal support, even though you’re acting like a child.
Grow up, own up. Quit depending on everyone else to take care of you and your kids.

As a wife of a man that pays child support, shame on you. He probably needed a better job to pay his own expenses and now you’re going to take that away too? A judge will actually give you less if you’re not working.

A. You can do a review and not quit your job since there is no guarantee you will get an increase. B. You seem just like the kind of baby mama men hate. Dont punish that man for bettering himself because you want to be lazy and get more money from him. Do as you wish, but remember child support ends when they are 18… learn to live on your own 2 feet and stop using your kids to support you.

They will impute your wages accordingly. My ex tried to say I wasn’t working (I was working part time weekends around having to pay daycare) before he walked out on the family. His lawyer tried to double my actual wages and pretend that I made more so he could pay less. In your case, they will take what you could be making and make him pay accordingly.
You can ask for more CS without that, he getting more money and now he can afford more.

If he Wants you to stay home with the kids he could agree to pay you more. He may like that idea. But if he doesn’t they aren’t going to give you more against his will.
File for a modification of support but keep your job. If Dad makes more then he must pay more by law. But you have to seek the modification in good faith and quitting your job is not that. You should be able to hire an attorney for about $2500 to do this. Some states will let you seek a modification pro se (without an attorney). This is more affordable and can be practical unless Dad has a way to hide his new salary.

Why would you become a stay at home mom if your kids are not at home most of the time? I’m a working mom with 2/3 sick kids. So if you have the issues I have of them being sick that’s understandable. If you just want to be home and making the poor man that unfortunately breed with you support you so you can chill, you sorry. Those are your kids too. You need to support them also. Not just their dad.

Your kids are old enough to be in school. A judge will literally look at you and ask you why your not working. And your only reason being would be “I found out his salary doubled so I quit and files for an adjustment”

Tbh there’s a chance your ex can appeal to get the children more time than you because you quitting a job then trying to increase the child support makes a red flag for you and makes you seem like a unreliable parent, so I’d watch out for your choices and the full consequences they could have

No. You have to be able to provide half the support for your own a children.
Child support is to support the child.
He no longer has the responsibility to supprtet you.
And your children are also not babies or toddlers and I’m assuming will be in school 9 months of the year.
You better keep your job. I’m a mom of 2 and always worked and never depended on child support. He quit his job and said I’ll never see a penny. I never asked for an increase or begged him for anything. Now he’s disable and want my kids to help him but they hate to help him but will do minimum things since he is their father.
What the actual fuck

Shame on you. You’re part of the problem. I am divorced and have been for years. (5 kids) We coparent well and get along good. I do not receive child support nor do I ask for anything.
I’ve always felt that: the child support is for the child. So if he is paying a lump sum of his income to child support that takes away from the home he can provide, the entertainment the kids could or do receive, takes food from their mouths and his. I take care of the kids myself. He doesn’t miss a baseball game and volunteers to help with sports accessories that come along with playing sports. Otherwise nothing more. Sure, he has beds, electronics and toys at his home, he is able to take them out to eat, and normal things that he should be able to do.
But for the ones that aren’t active in the child’s life I fully feel child support is necessary, not for the mothers nails or hair appt. but for the kids shoes, crayons that aren’t broken, food, camp, swim season pass, haircuts and savings.
Child support isn’t to allow you to live off his income still. There are other options. I’m not trying to be rude but you’re the problem.

Why do you want to stay home?
Do either of your kids have high medical needs? No shade on women who stay home with school age kids because there are a lot of days school is out or whatever. But unfortunately as a single mom you have less options because you are the only adult in the household and bills still exist.
Without a significant reason, like child’s medical needs or something, I don’t really see the court adding more child support so you can not work.
Girl no. The court will look down on that. I think it is really immature to even think about leaving your job for him to pay more child support! If you really need that extra money, Just take him back to court for another child support review. It will go up as his income has.

Hell yes it’s unnecessary, and yes a judge will see it that way. Whether the dad pays or not the best thing for the children is for both of you to be doing your part to give them the best life possible. That includes teaching them that nothing is free and you have to work for everything you want/get in this life. There are no free rides.

Seriously are u crazy? If they find out you purposely quit your job just to get more child support they’re going to rip you a new ahole seriously. What you’re doing is BEYOND selfish n obviously you aren’t wanting the money for the children but yourself n it shows loud n clear. You need to stop leeching off your baby daddy n tbh maybe the courts shouldn’t make him pay since u obviously just want money to support your lifestyle n not the kids. And anybody who says you should quit your job n be a stay at home mom r just messed up as you are. Child support isn’t for you it’s only for the children

You can request a review if it has been over 3 years and if his income did go up you will most likely get an increase. But I wouldn’t quit your job. Either way you will most likely get an increase. But it does make you look bad if you quit working after getting that increase. I would continue to work. Even if it is part time. And remember child support does eventually stop. You need to be able to support yourself once that happens. A lot of women live off child support then are in the hurt bag when the kids graduate. You need to have a work history.

No. Child support is based solely on what the noncustodial parent makes plus a lot of other factors on their part like time spent with children things like that. Makes no difference what you make or don’t make.

Lol I just saw this exact post in a different moms group, trolling much 
Unless your after school childcare is unmanageable in amount, then yes they will see it. BUT if he doubled his salary, I’d take him back for a modification anyway. Any increase/decrease in income is to be reported to CSS. So you could get an increase simply bc he doubled his income. My ex quit his job, got his child support lowered, and started a new job two weeks later paying more. I was so pissed. Not bc it lowered but because he literally played the system and got away with it.

Get off your ass and get it YOURSELF!
I seriously hope the judge laughs so hard in your face if you try and pull that bullshit 
Girl if you don’t keep your damn job and not rely on CS!!! 
do you seriously think they’re gonna grant you enough child support to pay your rent, phone bill, utilities, gas (if you drive), and other necessities for you and the children? that is so beyond unrealistic. yeah, you’ll get an increase in child support if you don’t have your own income. but you won’t be able to stay afloat on it. let alone the fact that this is ethically shitball. so no.
