Father of my child had another baby

My child's father had another child in the last 6 months, and my child support went from $100 to $60 a month, and then from $60 to $30 a month. Now it's gone from $30 to $21 a month. I'm confused and a little irritated, $21 isn't enough to fill my gas tank these days.

From my knowledge, my child support shouldn't have been affected by the new baby, and even if it was I wasn't too concerned until it dropped under $25 a month. He's held the same two jobs for years, and the newest child's mother and him have little to no contact besides the required visits. I know I should call Child Support Services, but I'm hesitant because I feel guilty for putting pressure on the situation.

I've got a well paying job, it's just my kid and I so we're not sinking, but the extra money was always helpful especially when the gas tank is getting low or when the fridge starts to get low.
