hoosh...please do us all a favor and find out what exactly happens with a CS review in your state, how it has to be initiated (do you need a lawyer or can you just do it on your own, etc), and if you can, run a CS calculator based on your best guess of his info and find out how much more $$ you should be getting each month. Then let us know what you find out, so we can either encourage you to go for it, or encourage you to just hold tight for now (if it wouldn't be more).

If its going to be more, why on earth would you not go after him for it??? That $$ is for your D, not you. SHE deserves and needs the support from him. Its not about making him pay for his choices (although we'd all love to), its about what is fair to your D in the eyes of the court system!!

I heard a story of a mom who tried to tell a judge in her divorce hearing that she wasn't going to ask for child support from her ex because she was making plenty and didn't need his money - nor did she want it. The judge admonished her and told her "that is not your decision. That money is for YOUR CHILD, not you. You are not allowed to place emotional ties upon what your child is entitled to".


Point being - its about your D...not about your xh or even about you...your D needs more and deserves it. GO GET HIM!
