Do my side jobs count toward my child support obligation?

Since COVID hit, my hours at work have been cut and to make up the difference, I’ve been doing side jobs as a carpenter under the table. My ex found out about this and is threatening to take me back to court to have the court consider the extra money I’m now making and possibly increase child support. This is ridiculous because I’m only working these jobs to make up for the income I’ve lost from my regular job. Can she actually get more child support from me if a judge adds in my side work income? Is there any way I can go after her for legal fees if I have to hire a lawyer to fight this and she loses?
