the legal aid office; they are in all states and most counties. they go on a sliding scale so they are free to most.
they count both incomes; yours and his.
here is a CS calculator to give you a general idea of what it might be if you take him back to court. just click on your state and enter the info...

if you already have a case open with child support division, call your case worker and ask how to get a cost of living increase hearing (or what ever its called there).
more links to help you and your family...just click on your state and find the child support section. the last few are for you.

Child support is determined by how much your Ex makes and his other expenses (rent or mortgage, transporation etc) so if his financial situation has not changed since the court ordered child support, you won't get any more.

I'm sure I'm going to get a ton of "thumbs down" for this since it's not "politically correct", but have you ever considered WORKING?
