The parents will need to comply with the current court orders until the court changes the orders.

That one of the children has changed residence likely is a basis to file a motion with the court to ask the court to review the orders.

The mandatory pattern forms for most WA family law proceedings are free at http://www.courts.wa.gov/forms/ . There are links to instructions and self-help guides from that site.

The free online child support calculator for WA is at http://www.courts.wa.gov/ssgen/ .

Your husband should review his specific facts with his attorney if he is unsure of his legal options.
