Wow, excuse me if you think I’m rude but damn…you don’t see the wrong in any of that? It’s not to support you.
Anytime you open that door your opening it to go either way. You could always get less depending on his situation. You could be shooting yourself in the foot 
People like you are one of the biggest problems with the child support system, and no they will not increase it so you can stay at home. Do you think of him needing to support them when they are with him? Or does their welfare at dad’s house even matter to you? I’m normally not a mean person, but make your own money. He’s not your sugar daddy. I never once had my exes reviewed, why would I? We both worked and she was cared for…

He got a higher paying job so you feel your entitled to his money?
He probably had to get a higher paying job to afford himself and the child support.
I’m sure if you quit your job and go to the court and say
“I quit my job. I want higher child support” they will laugh at you.

Here, even if you don’t have a job, they figure the income is minimum wage at 40 hours a week. Unless you can prove you have a very good reason not to work. So even without a job they factor in an income.
Child support is for his HALF of the financial support of his children. It’s not for 100% support of his kids, nor is it for ANY financial support of you.
Keep your job so that you can support you, and provide the other half of the support for your kids.

No, if you purposely change your income to get more they will base your CS on what your potential earnings are. Same as if he purposely quit working or takes a lower paying job. They’re supposed to look at that as an attempt to evade child support. It worked for my ex but isn’t supposed to.
I quite my schooling because of the ex…taunting, harassing me, threatening me
My eldest was having emotional problems…she missed her dad seeing him special occasions only.i wish thing were different back than.he never paid cs or contributed go upbringing of any my… yes exlaws called them Her KID’S .

I’m sorry but you need help!! Your probably one of those moms who spend the CHILD support on yourself and not actually on your kids where it is supposed to go!! It is not his job to take care of you it is his job to take care of his children of witch you are not one! A judge is going to look at you dead in your face and say your crazy you are a capable adult who is trying to leach off a man!! If that’s what you want find a man with a good job and marry him ( if you can get one to agree) or find you a sugar daddy

I can only speak from my own personal experience… My ex-husband pays me child support and a good amount my kids are in school all day and I’m a stay-at-home mom. I’ve probably held one job for maybe three or four months in the 7 years that my kids have been alive. He’s about to get remarried and never once says anything about me being a stay-at-home mother or the child support he has to pay but we don’t go through courts. He knew that if we had kids I wanted to be home with them. Just bc we decided to divorce doesn’t mean my children should miss out. I get all of my housework and appointments done during the day so when they come home my attention can be on them…we don’t know the exact details of her situation maybe she’s trying to go back to school or has some mental health issues she needs to take care of…y’all are so judgemental…

It’s pretty simple. You are absolutely free to seek more child support and/or quit your job to be a SAHM. Domestic Relations is equally free to assess your portion of the children’s monthly maintenance based upon your earning capacity, given you would be terminating employment volitionally and have school-aged children so no tender-aged child doctrine applies.

With all due respect, I’m a single Mom. My daughter is in cheer and also softball. My x husband pays a little in child support and we split extra curricular activities. With all due respect, I would never ever want to depend on my X husband to pay my bills. I am proud knowing that I can do this on my own. I can get maybe double of what he’s actually paying in child support, but I’m not going to take more of his money because things did not work out between us.
Something to think about before making this decision. If, it’s even possible.

My mom tried to do this to my dad. He paid cs, school fees, sports fees, health care, and the things we needed for at his house. Thankfully the judge saw all that my dad was paying for and told my mom to quit abusing the system. I don’t know your full situation , but he deserves things in his life also and to have things at his place for when they are there (assuming he has them regularly). Please don’t abuse the system because you don’t want to do your part to support your children. It’s different if you are truly unable to work, but the parents that actually help support their children are usually the ones to get screwed

If you quit your job & ask for more CS due to his new job, the judge can use “imputed income” (money you could/should be making) against you to lower the new child support amount anyway.

I am a sahm because of some medical issues I can not work. However just because I don’t work he doesn’t pay more because that is not how child support works he pays his amount based of his salary and that is that. Now if your ex got a new job paying more then you can ask for a review to increase his payments based off what he makes at his new job but it still isn’t going to be able to support you choosing to quit your job for no damn reason.

What is the reason for staying home if your kids are in school most of the day? Are you disabled? Are the children disabled? Did you ask for alimony in the divorce? I mean, I’m all for sahms but you sound like you want your ex to pay for you to stay home and what? Please don’t say clean the house and spend time with your kids. Depending on grade and whether they are homeschooled or in a classroom, they will be gone for 7 hours out of the day. And then will you pick them up or will they ride a bus? That’s another 30-45 minutes. So you want to stay home and do what for 8 hours? Get a job or change your shift to work those 6-7 hours they are gone. Put dinner in the fridge to thaw out. Only do enough laundry that you can put in the dryer while you sleep. When you get up, throw another load in. Dry it while your gone. Clean up as you go. See no need to stay home on his dime. You can work and be a mom. I’ve been married 30 years. I’ve worked when needed and was a SAHM to four. Now they are grown, I adopted two of my grandsons, I homeschool them and babysit three more. On weekends, I may have all twelve.

If his salary doubled, the child support might go up but that’s a matter of contacting your CS people. As for you quitting your job so you can be a sahm…child support isn’t meant to pay your rent, your lights, your water, your cell phone, your groceries, etc. It is meant to assist in child related expenses. You would have all those bills whether you had kids or not. They might be less, but you’d still be paying them. Child support is for clothing, the kids food, gas to and from, activities, etc. You can’t expect a man to throw money at you so you can sit around all day doing nothing. If that’s what you’re after, perhaps a sugar daddy situation would be better. As a mother, you should WANT to support your children financially and not depend on a man. What would happen if he died and you’ve been out of work for 5 years? And what do you plan on doing when your kids no longer get child support? Taking your children’s money and their fathers money so you can be a bum is pretty despicable. And yes, a judge would see it unnecessary since you are I assume an able bodied individual who can work.

It sounds like you found out he got an increase and are looking at it like a way to get out of also financially contributing just because he has more money. Either way there should be an increase because of the job change yes but you shouldn’t be looking at it like he should give (you) a free ride. You still need to support yourself. CS is for the children’s needs not so you can quit taking and supporting your own needs which have nothing to do with him anymore.

I realize that this isn’t RIGHT and I shouldn’t have to live this way, but I’m a single Mother and haven’t gotten a dime in child support in 2 years that I’ve been split from my childrens’ father… He barely ever sees my children anyway and my pride won’t let me even ask for his damn money… But THIS right here, is straight up greedy… Just because HE worked hard and got better employment, that means YOU should get to be a stay at home Mom and get more money from him? I don’t care who disagrees with me… that is wrong. If there are women out there who can manage on low-income, by themselves, with no child support at all, then I have a real issue with women who think that they automatically need more money just because their ex got a better job. The child support system is so broken. I don’t understand how some children can supposedly be supported with $30 a week, but children whose non-custodial parent makes a lot of money get hundreds of dollars a week. I’ve always felt like child support should go into one big pot and distributed to everyone on child support evenly that way even the children with deadbeat non-custodial parents get something to help, and women don’t take advantage of the fact that their ex is successful and keep going to court for more money. If I can raise my kids with no help, there is no reason whatsoever that someone needs thousands of dollars a month in child support to support their children…
Never depend on CS for one, it can go away at any given moment. As a Mom it is your responsibility to financially take care of your babies. Think of CS as a bonus. I will never understand why women do that. The father has to also provide while he has the kids. What makes you entitled to his pay increase??? Do your part!!! Be better, not bitter

Child support is to supplement your income to make sure the kids have everything they need. It is not supposed to be the only source of income. Not judging, and I know it is hard being a single mom, because I was one for 10 years. But, I worked two jobs, in addition to child support, to make sure my kids never did without.

This is a pet peeve of mine… I feel it is wrong in ways for the support to go off of what a man makes … BECAUSE of woman like U!!!.. and then some other reasons… so he/ the man/person has done better for then selves and is making more money… so what… I feel it should go off of age and so on… they can help with half the extra circular stuff and thats about it. Not all father’s r dead beats. Some ppl don’t work out or whatever and why in the hell should they be made to pay out stupid amount cause they have done good for themselves . And why in the hell should u get to stay at home off of his money, I was my my ex for 20 years… split last year… I have always worked …i would have killed for more then 6 month mat leave… but couldn’t … I am now on my own… bought a truck last summer … and pay for everything on my own… I have never had a dime from him… and i just don’t bother. Hell I didn’t even fight for the house that was half in my name cause… I just couldn’t bother with years of court and the bull. I walked and have started fresh… it can be done… it’s hard… but can proudly say what I have is by me. And when ur kids r at school age it is no longer a stay at home mom… u can be workn a part time job at the least…

There is no reason to be a Sahm if your kids are in school. There are plenty of jobs you can get that are the same hours as school hours if that’s what your worried about. And it’s soooo sad that he gets a better paying job and the first thing you think is more money for cs. That’s why I love the new law in Arkansas! They go off of both house hold incomes to make it fair. And unless you have a damn good reason not to work the judge isn’t gonna be on your side.
For my one child I get 215. That’s with me staying home. I never depend on it. Leave it for clothes and extra stuff that my son may need.
There is no way your going to get enough to live off of comfortably.
Why would you want to stay home all the time?
Probably not but who knows you have the right to have it reviewed just like he can state his case as well. Good luck.
