Sometimes, yes. If support is a percentage of your wages, then yes. If it is a dollar amount agreed to by all parties, then no unless they go back to court.
If it were me I wouldn't talk about it too much.

Most states have income guidelines. Unless your ex takes you to court again to have your income evaluated your child support should not automatically go up. Usually a predetermined amount is deducted from each paycheck, not a percentage of each gross paycheck. Check your papers. Are you required to report any wage increases? Otherwise your child support wont go up. I think most states have a time frame allowance. Your ex can only take you back every 2 years for re determination of benefits. (for example)

Usually not automatically. But the person receiving the support can petition the court for an increase.

It depends on if child support is paid as a percentage your salary or at a flat rate. If you don't know then call the lawyer.

No. But it is common for child support to go up every year or every two years.. regardless of your income.

depends on the terms of the support decree. Normally, there is a review period when it all comes out in the wash.
