Child support is based on how much you are capable of earning. It is this way to discourage non custodial parents from quitting jobs to avoid financial responsibility for their children. If you was bringing in 40 k when you became a parent and support was based on that, if you lose that job and now you are making 10k...you may want to look for a better job, because in theory you can end up owing more than you make.

It would be impossible to take more than you make. What I think you may be asking is can the child support be increased if you have another child. Well, yes. Child support is based on a percentage of your salary. In some states one child equals about 17% of you gross salary paid for child support. Two children would be approximately 25%. This leaves you with less and less money. But you have an obligation to support the children you bring into the world. So, if you don't want to keep paying more and more, think before you...
