In a word - no. Child support is awarded in the order it's granted by the Court. If your petition for support is awarded first, you would get a larger percentage.

It's not how many children he has that counts, it's how many he supports (by Court Order).

Trying to lie to you to fool you into not filing.

File and get an order against him. He might not be able to pay now but at some point he may be able to pay. If he actually does have that many children he is being irresponsible.
