If my ex decided to move with the kids out of state and our divorce decree does not limit moves, can I agree to the move on a temporary basis?

Can we calculate the child support using the internet calculators or do we have to have the court involved? I have been paying her directly without CS services, etc.On top on my annual income, I can potentially get paid more over the summer, but with no guarantee. Should we use the guaranteed income in the calculations and pay more support over the summer based on the actual amount I get that year?

What ever you and your ex decide to do is up to you and so long as the rights of the kids are not compromised (i.e., reducing the support award below what the law requires) then the court will not really interfere.  However, I would STRONGLY suggest that you seek to modify the agreement with an attorney and in writing.  Good luck.
