Child Support
Hello, this is in regards to what should I do and is this even my place to say.
My boyfriend is 32 and I am 26. We met almost 3 years ago and knew we both have kids from previous relationships. My boyfriend is very involved in his child's life but it was limited due to him living 45 minutes away from her mother's home. He is paying $650 a month for one child.
Well my boyfriend and I bought a home that is approximately 15 minutes away from the mother of his child, he is now more involved in his child's life. The only thing is that the child, per court order, does not stay the night at our home during school nights. (The child is 7).
Now my boyfriend and I had a baby together (he was born in June and is now 4 months old), wouldn't my boyfriend be able to modify his child support and family sharing plan agreement now since he lives a lot closer and his child can actually stay the night at our home? Can a child support payments be reduced now that he has a new dependent?
I also know this is all between him and his ex but me, being his current girlfriend and now the mother of his 4-month-old baby, do I have a right to say for him to change things? Any advice?
Thanks in advance!

It depends on the state you live in. Each state has their own method of calculating child support. Now that he's closer I would strongly assume visitation would also change which would probably also change the child support amount along with the additional financial responsibility. You may need to actually put him on child support to prove that his income has changed even if he puts the money right back into the household it still shows proof of a change in his financial situation.
