Decrease Child Support with Birth of Child?

Hi another question I have. I live in GA and pay child support for 1 child that lives with her mother in CT. Since our initial child support agreement, I have remarried and my new wife and I have had a child. Can I petition to have my child support amount reduce based on the fact that I have another child to care for? Currently I pay 20% of all income. Any help would be appreciated.

I would def. file to modify child support-based on a change in your job and the fact that you have another child. (I don't know about GA, but in OR the non-custodial parent gets a non-joint child credit on child support which decreases the payment.) I'd look research from the court where the orignal agreement was signed!
Good Luck!
