If we go in to modify child support can he also try to modify alimony? Financial situation has not changed for me since the divorce.

The answer depends on your order. SOme spousal maintenance awards ccan be made non-modifiable with a waiver by both parties. In such a case, spousal support could not be modified at any time.
Additionally, some states have separate child support procedural systems where a child support Magistrate/Referee/Judge can hear only child support matters. The other party could file a motion, but it would be heard separately.

I'm not really that worried about it. I don't really get much. Not that I am ungrateful or anything.

If you receive alimony, you are holding a huge red flag over your head saying " I'm a user type of women, I'm looking for another man to pay my bills while I sit on my ass... "

Well...thanks for your opinion Yregna.
I do not sit on my ass. I work full time and go to school part time. Alimony was HIS idea not mine for whatever reason. Guess he felt guilty about his cheating ways.

Ignore Yregna. He is angry and cowardly and, as a result, gets jollies hiding behind a computer and typing silly misogynistic epithets. I imagine he was bullied as a child.

Correct me if I am wrong, but you want to raise his child support but don't want him to be able to modify your alimony?

It was just a question for informational purposes. I did not say that I did not want him to be able to modify my alimony. I just did not know if he could or not.

Don't be shy or let some people intimidate you. OF COURSE you don't want him to be able to modify alimony and of course you want CS raised if his income has gone up.
Depends on the wording on your decree if he can modify alimony or not. But clearly it would difficult for him to modify alimony if his income has increased unless yours has increased significantly.
If your CS if lower than it should be based on his current wages, by all means, move to have CS modified. If his income has increased and your has not, then don't worry about alimony being modified. He would have have to show a significant change in circumstance (for the better for you or worse for him) to get alimony modified.
CS is much easier to modify.

Wow, Susan in favor of ALIMONY, what a shocker.
Well, maybe if you READ the posts, you would know that his income HASN'T gone up and her basis for raising child support is because of reduced (per her) parenting time.
Sorry, just thought you might want the truth before you began defending her.

I don't know much about alimony, but if he is paying more in CS then doesn't that decrease his income for alimony purposes?
So one (such as the OP) can get more CS and the same amount in alimony even though the payor has less money as CS increases?

I wonder if the OP realizes that the amount of alimony he pays comes OFF his income and is ADDED to hers for the purposes of figuring child support?

CurlyCat,
WTF does his cheating have to do with alimony ?
You want to be re-imbursed because a man found another woman more attractive than you ? What kind of person are you ? Is that how you value yourself, money makes you feel better ?
You might do well in Las Vegas...

I've read the posts. Where does the OP say that his income has or has not gone up? Maybe you should get the truth before you start trashing her.

Well, she is basing her request that child support be raised on his reduced parenting time. Now, I realize you only teach at a community college, and haven't been doing all that long, but there are a limited number of reasons why one would request such a thing, and they are in sequence as to their importance to the request. "He isn't taking as much time" falls WELL under "He makes more money". Of course, if he makes more MONEY, that would be, in most cases, a slam dunk. Very few would argue that MORE money would NOT be a case for an increase. Not taking the amount of time, within a few weeks, is a slim chance of an increase.
Thanks for playing, better luck next time.

Wow, that is the best you can do ??
WHAT DOES CHEATING HAVE TO DO WITH ALIMONY ? If a man finds some other woman more attractive than you, you want him to pay you ?
Did you high school sweetheart dump you ? When did you learn that being paid because a man treated you badly was an entitlement ? If a woman cheats on you does that count ?
How much money is involved ? Like every time he has intercourse with the other woman you want a grand, but if he just hugs her then you only want $100 ? Give me a sliding scale, oK ?
