Custodial Parent With Higher Income

So i do not get the whole child support situation at all. i am suppose to receive 80 dollars a week and 20 toward arrears. i have two children with my ex, and i know the he makes good money however, for some reason every time i go back to court they raised it 5 dollars. im confused? i provide health insurance and daycare, for my kids and he does not see the children at all ever. even though i would love him to.

Now He is injured and on workman's comp i have not gotten any child support since may. he is taking me back to court in sept to get it reduced. i am scared as i feel like im always getting the raw deal. i feel like 100 dollars a week is sufficient for two kids.

my question is do they take my income into it?

i also have another child and i get nothing from his father. does the court take that (that i have a third child)into consideration to if they take my income into it?

confused about the system
