My ex and I have a 8yr. old boy. We were never married and when we split we agreed on the amount of child support he'd pay. So, we've never done anything through court. Four years ago he was accepted into dental school and now is getting ready to graduate and move back home. I started back to school this last semester. My husband (of three years) and I are seperated and looking at divorse. Now that I am a single mom of 3 and working full time and going back to school..my mom suggested that when my 1st ex graduates that I should reanalize the amount he pays and consider him to pay more. I know that when he graduates he will only be paying less than a third of what he could be forced to pay if I wanted to do it legally through court. But, I don't know that I have the balls to ask him to pay more. Any good advice?

I would ask him for more. He should help out in any way that he can. And if he makes more money, then it's only right that he should give his child more money. It's about giving that child the best life possible and he needs to help as much as possible. If he is unwilling, I would personally take him to court. That's just my opinion though.
