BTW your girlfirend isn't entitled to anything it is your kids that are entitled to your support.

first off, if they modify his order wouldnt that affect the childs lifestyle? sounds like you want it both ways. second, i was one signed document away from paying alimony to an ex WIFE making her entitlement retroactive. btw, i hope you realize that if the rock married a single mother and raised HER kid for a couple years before they split, that child would now be "entitled" to the same support HIS child is getting. is that reasonable too?
