if he quits his job-will he get in trouble for not paying?and if he gets a raise or another job will my child support go up or stay the same?

he has to pay child support so YES, he will get in trouble. On the other hand if he got a raise, it really depends I think your support will stay the same.

If they lose their job they just get behind on what they owe. but speaking from someone who is with someone paying child support, anytime he has been without work, nothing happened. Also, his support amount has not changed and he has had raises. I think it also depends on the other parent, if they are keeping up with their case & making sure they don;t let things go. don't assume they are keeping up to date on your case.. they only do what people ask them to & if you don';t ask, they won;t do shit..

If he gets a raise you have to take him to court to have your child support amount raised. BEWARE if you have him in and out of court all the time you'll look stupid and they won't want to work with you as much as if you just take what they give you. If you're worried about not getting the child support on time you can always have his wages garnished. It's only like a $5 fee to have it started and you can file everything online.
