    You can file for a change of venue based on the fact that the child doesn't reside in Idaho any longer. Sometimes the judge will allow it, sometimes they will not as the non-custodial parent still lives there.

    If the father is making more money, they will most likely order an increase in child support. Most states have a set percentage that the NCP pays for the child(ren) based on their gross income.
