I used to be married to a guy who had custody of his 2 kids from a previous marriage. I worked for the county at the time. His ex filed papers with the COUNTY saying that I was an overpaid county employee with too-good benefits and she should get a reduction in child support. Needless to say, they raised her obligation - A LOT! She asked for a state hearing and got it lowered, but she still ended up paying more than she'd been paying initially.
