Birth of another child affecting child support?

Yes, the birth of another child may affect child support. A filing should be made to recalculate the support amount based on this change of circumstance. Added: In Delaware, for example, parents are given a 'credit' for other minor children they are supporting that are not part of the filing. So, while the right to support may not be affected, the amount of support may be. Generally, the older child's right to support is not diminished by the birth of subsequent children.
