Child support is never enough. How could it ever be? When you take one household and split it into two you will have twice the expense, and everyone has less. You either find a way to make more money, or you look for ways to cut costs. You might even have to rely on community services to get by. Examples are, gleaners markets, food boxes, rental and energy assistance, grants and scholarships for rec. centers, camps, and schools, clothes closets, and low income counseling centers just to name a few. It is very unlikely that you will qualify for welfare, since you do have income. Researching what community services are available in you area is a much better option than taking a second job, which will take you away from the children even longer. Calling 211 on your phone is a good place to start.

yes It's possible but unlikely because, in general, child support is based on the obligor's net income. In some countries like Australia, parental child support is based on a percentage of the non residential parent's net income. This amount is regardless of what the residential parent earns. The governmental child assistance amount changes according to the residential parent's income. (In the case of Aus, RESIDENCY means whichever parent had the child living with them at the time. CUSTODY means whichever parents has the responsibility for decisionson the child's life. Generally this means both parents unless neglect, violence etc is involved)

Nothing changes regarding child support orders whether it is the mother or the father who is remarrying. The child/children are the responsibility of the biological parents not a new spouse.
