My husband has no problem paying his support. We just do not want to pay court costs to go have the support raised and then have to go back and get it lowered again since the 2nd job is temporary to pay off some bills.

Most child support agencies and the courts only consider the primary source of income, not additional sources. My husband has worked in child support enforcement for four years now, and I asked him. So, don't worry about it.

The second job will be recorded in any system that tracks child support. If the first job does not provide a large enough salary to pay the full amount of the court ordered child support, a reasonable percentage is taken from that job. A second job would mean that the percentage would be raised to meet the support order, or get closer to it depending on the total income.
Child support, in general, is not raised by an increase in income, temporary or otherwise. To increase child support above the current court order, the court must be petitioned by the receiving parent.
Hope this helped.

My husband was in the same situation. When he started a second job to help bring in more money around Christmas, we got a letter stating that his child support payments were going to be increased because they were notified that he also another means of income. In the state of Ohio, all companies are legally required to enter a new employee into a database within 20 days of employment. This database is flagged from Child Support Enforcement Agency IF the obligor is owes any arrearage. I'm not sure of any other state's laws, but I do know that they shouldnt change the amount he's required to pay without a formal review and it can then be determined that his second job is only temporary.
Hope this helps.

If he is useing his ss# meaning if taxes are coming out than yes they will know sooner or later in texas that is how it works and if the ex knows she can report it but normaly they only do a reveiw of the case every three years and would not do ant thing until then if it is temp than you are probably safe.

HI!
If he makes money it is reported and the courts will find out and he will pay for his children like he should!

I think so. I am not sure. Why don't you call domestic relations to find out.
