My sister-in-laws ex-husband has another family, she resides in Texas and he resides in Illinois (where their divorce took place)
He has a new Child and a fiance, and he is trying to get the support payments reduced for this reason, is it possible? Right now they take 20% from him.

While it's not fair, in many states when the noncustodial parent pops out another child the custodial parent has to cough up even more money each time the child support is reduced. So the custodial parent is paying to subsidize the non-custodial parent's reproduction choices.

Of course it is possible. His "support" will be spread among his children. One does not rank any higher than the other. She'll need to consult a lawyer to try and stop this. However, since they have both remarried, perhaps both make enough money to not quibble over it.

yes his other children are taken into consideration and so is his income in some states. It varies by state what they look at to see what should be paid in child support. While her child is important to her and him his other child is also important. He has an obligation to support both children and any others that he has.

In the state of Pa they do take this into consideration.
