I hate to have to point this out, but the fact that it's spelled out quite
clearly is irrelevant. If your income goes up, the CP can immediately file
for and receive an increase in CS payments. If you file for a change in
custody, the CP can file for and receive and increase in CS payments, based
simply on the fact that you have enough money to afford a lawyer. If you
marry (or have a live-in friend), the CP can file for and receive an
increase in CS payments based on the fact that your household income has
gone up. If October 1993 comes, the state will file for and receive an
increase in CS payments based on the fact that the Federal government
told them to.

What if you lose your job? If six months goes by, you might be allowed to
file for a slight reduction. Assuming that you continued to faithfully
make all CS payments without income. Assuming that it wasn't decided that
you were "voluntarily unemployed". Assuming that the CP didn't decide to
call you a child abuser.
