It might. The court is going to look at your income and her income. But any adjustment should only last until she is able to go back to work. (I am assuming you EX-wife is the one that lost her job, not a current wife).
The problem is going to be that if she was fired for having an affair with a subordinate, it may be difficult for her to get another job making the same kind of money she was making before. In that case, your support may be higher for an indefinite period.
If that happens, you can ask the court to impute to her the same income she had before, since the loss of her job was based on her own misbehavior. Unfortunately the court may choose to ignore that, deciding that the extra income is needed for the kids, and that they shouldn't suffer because of the mother's bad behavior.
You are probably going to need a lawyer, but I'm afraid you are going to get screwed due to no fault of your own.

If your paid your wife alimony, then she could argue for a change of circumstances increase. since your child support is court ordered, the only why it changes is a cost of living adjustment which can be asked for every 2 years (in the state of New York).

Wow, it's all about you isn't it buddy? She was fired, she is probably having a hard time. Give her a break for once and quit worrying about how much you will have to pay. That money goes to feed and care for the children you brought into this world.
This is the reason I don't talk to my father so keep that in mind, even if you don't bring this up in front of the kids they know.

Not necessarily. In some states, the amount of child support is determined by YOUR income, without regard to how much the children's mother makes. If that is the case in your state, then the amount of child support you pay shouldn't change just because she lost her job. Call your state's attorney general (or just go to your state's website) to get that info. Good luck!

Short answer- no.
Longer answer- maybe.
It all depends on her- if she gets another similar job right away, no change.
If she doesn't find another job, she can go back to the court and get the custody agreement modified so you *might* end up paying more.
You've got to read your decree and see what it says about paying custody.

nope. they go by what you make . and just because she lost her job doesn't mean you should have to support her too. She needs to get another one.
