Dear Pookie:
If the debts are in her name alone, stop paying them. Maybe you also need to file for bankruptcy. Stop paying for her to sit around and do nothing. You should have a written agreement as alimony (but not child support) is tax deductible to you if paid pursuant to an agreement. I would have to sit down and review all of your income documents before answering anything directly about her chances for increasing child support. Also, file for divorce.
