They have both seemed to manage OK this past year...why are things harder now?

My understanding is that he wants to change it because he wants to improve his situation.

Not sure if you're referring to his financial or marital situation. Marital situation is out of his control. Financial situation is what the judicial system dictates is equitable. I have no way of knowing if 1/3 of his income is or is not equitable. Judge may decide if what's worked so far works, no need to change anything. Judge may decide adjustments need to be made. Judge won't care that he had an A and left or that he came back and wanted to reconcile, nor should he...that's a moral not a legal issue. I've seen too many people "give in" in an effort to make it easier or get it over with only to screw themselves. No need to compound past mistakes with future mistakes.
