My ex and I have been divorced for 10 years. I have two children who were 3 and 5 at the time. Based on the laws at that time and his w-2 - he was supposed to pay $920/month. He claimed that he wouldn't be able to live if he paid me that much. I said then you give me enough money to pay for their daycare ($650) and what it costs me to have them on my insurance ($150) - even then he was bitter about $800/month. Now these children are into a couple of different sports, one of them costs me approx $3500-4000 year with dues and traveling. Their grocery bill alone (two teenage boys) is $800/month. He NEVER paid for anything extra EVER and I NEVER asked him to. Then my son began playing select soccer about 5 years ago. At that time I was spending about $1300/yr. Then 2 years later my other son started playing select soccer. It wasn't until that time when I started asking my ex for help, anything at all so these kids could continue to play. Out of the +/- $13,000 I have paid for their select soccer, he has contributed $400 in 5 years. I can not tell you how many times I have waited for checks that never came.
I would like to go back and get a modification. He said I should go ahead because he doesn't make as much money now as he did then and that it would be lowered. Can I ask for disclosure of his annual income the past couple years?? He lives in Arkansas. Is there a chance that the support would be reduced?
