The law on child support is pretty cut and dry. The judge may say he should get a better job, but not sure he can order it.
Not trying to say you are wrong or argue, but if my child support is based on a 6 figure salary, and I lost that job, then took a job making 75,000, then I have every right to an adjustment to my child support. Now if I get a promotion and start making more, then its up to the other party to sue for an increase. Said party can do this twice a year. I had to provide a copy of my w2 to the ex, guess it was a way of her knowing if our children deserved an increase in child support.
Hopefully someone on here knows how this works and can clarify it.

I'd say your assessment is pretty accurate regarding child support. Oftentimes a divorce decree will provide that once a year the non-custodial parent will provide the custodial parent with proof of income and it is for the purpose of calculating child support payments. Judges pretty much are going to adhere to the guidelines LINK although there is really no limit as to how often a party may seek an increase/decrease in support in any given time period.
