If I just relocated for work and got a cost of living salary increase, do I have to pay more child support even though the increase is due solely due to my new cost of living?
Question Details: It's 46% higher to live where I'm living now.

Yes. There is no exception here. If the other parent requests a modification of child support-- then you will pay according to your new income, including the cost of living increase. Income is income--whether it relates to a move up the ladder or a cost of living increase.
Best of luck.
