[quote]Yes, My divorce was in Mississippi. State law says I pay 20% of my Gross adjusted income(2 kids). I bring home $2,993.00 after taxes each month as an Asst. Principal. $633.00 of that is deducted for child support. I also pay their medical, dental, and cancer coverage which costs $215.00 per month. I don't mind paying, but at $848.00 per month, I rent just a $450 apartment and pretty well much stay in debt. My ex-wife on the other hand maes $75,000 per year and pretty well much has no debt. Can I request that child suport be reduced since she does so well. Just a couple of hundred dollars would help. [/quote]

You can but I would make sure I brought in all of my debts and expenses. Make sure you've cut down to the bone (i.e. no dining out, etc).
It sounds also like you're living as an anchor dad. one bad month and you'll go under. If you do happen to have a financial problem (typically a 10 percent reduction in pay) immediately go to the courts for a modification. The courts pretty much treat fathers like walking wallets, but the last thing you want to give them is an excuse that "he just tried to ignore away the problems.
