Child support - what happens with a new child?

[Lisa]

It depends on how much he earns but mine dropped by almost a 3rd when my ex had another baby. It recently dropped again and is down to a pittance due to him having 2 dependant children. It sucks especially considering he isn't the sole earner in their household.

I understand the theory I just dont completely agree with it.

I finally figured out I had to run the estimator as though I was the paying parent.

Thanks for those replies.
