Well I am going thru the same thing and my ex is the most irrational person on earth, so there was no reasoning with him so I was forced to get a lawyer. However just because you get an attorney does not mean you have to go to court. I am doing collaborative law where we each have a lawyer and we all four sit down in meetings to discuss the settlement. The lawyers are there to protect your interests but the decisions are made b/w you and your ex not by a judge, so you two are deciding things. But my ex is still being an idiot and believes I should get next to nothing, so I may be forced to go to court. So be forewarned before collaboration, if you think your ex will sit down with you and be realistic as to what is fair for BOTH of you, then mediation or collaboration may work, if not, take him straight to court, cause you will just be wasting valuable time and money. Cause if you do collaboration and it doesn't work out, you have to start over in court with a new lawyer and none of the info discussed in collaboration can brought over to the court so you have to start from scratch!! GOOD LUCK!!!
Just read the part that you have children, even more reason to try to get things settled fairly and quickly which the court system will NOT do for you!!!

You are entitled to have the support raised about every year and that's based on cost of living including additional expenses the growing children would require. You can get the information needed through your domestic relations department. No attorney is needed. The domestic relations department will handle everything but contact immediately as a raise would be retroactive( meaning back to the day that you made contact with them)

you get addendums done instead of going to court but if he wont do it voluntarily then you will end up going to court, you can requests that he pay your legal fee but its not guaranteed also use their child support money for the camps and extra expenses, plus because these arent necessities you might not get it so think it over , can you make it happen without his help? in a good world hed pay half and youd pay half you arent asking him to pay it all are you ? but the reality is these arent necesities.

If he is already paying child support, you can try to get more, but depending on how much he is paying now, & how much these extra activities cost, he might fight it.
