My Ex's new (at the time) wife has brought this type of "issue" up before. 
She was advised she was a legal stranger to the matter.
When my Husband needed to go back for adjustment I simply helped him scrape up a retainer and baked brownies while he was in the attorneys office. I served them warm when he came home and put in a movie... it made for a much more pleasant afternoon than asking for details. Sometimes less is more.
My advice for your hubby? Get an attorney. Request bio-parents exchange 3 years tax documents to average. Use the CS calculator...then move on with your life. happyface
3 years is better, IMHO, since either parent can adapt their income to attempt to alter the outcome of an upcoming case. If the Ex is making less than minimum wage per tax records, you can request her income be imputed at minimum as both parents have a duty to support their kids. (I believe it can be imputed even higher based on what her original earning potential was. That does not make it true, though. Your Attorney will know for sure.)
Looking back, my EX resented my initial lowered income in the first year but forgot to figure in the childcare costs we did not incur. The Judge reminded him, harshly.
Be careful what you wish for.
