The ex is not actually paying child support to the current girlfriend unless there is a court order stating that he must due to location or other circumstances. If there is a legal agreement in place stating that he must pay child support to both children, then yes your child support amount may go down. If he does not have an order stating that his payment amount to you changed, then he is legally obligated to pay the amount previously stated on the order.If there was no order and he was just paying support, then he can change the amount at any time.

Arrearages may be reduced or credited if you can either prove you have had the child for all or part of the time child support has accrued, if you can convince the petitioner to waive part or all arrears or if you have proof of payments made directly to the petitioner (given your support or divorce order does not specify such payments will only be considered a gift and the judge approves the validity of the payments). Filing bankruptcy does not satisfy and child support owed you will still be liable for paying as it is a court order signed by a judge.
It would not be deemed to be a child support payment if it were not included in the original support order. However, if the payment was voluntary and not coerced or obtained under false circumstances, the person paying the support would not be able to recover the amount.
