Re: adultery and child support

Part one: Adultery is a cause of action, not a form of torture. You are already getting divorced an added cause does not get you anything more.

Part Two. If he is making 4x more than you that should have been taken into consideration at the time of the divorce decree. If the agreement does not take the difference into accord, wait about 6 months and then apply for an upward modification in the FAMILY Court.

Good Luck.
