First, arrange for a consultation with a family law attorney. Take your W-2's and pay stubs and they can tell you if you are paying what is required within the guidelines or not. If you are, then you're stuck. If you are paying more than the guidelines require, then you can file a motion to modify your support obligation. I'm suggesting a consultation with a family law attorney first-- because it will be cheaper than filing for a modification and then loosing.
