Before he could cut-off child support, he would need to file a petition for a downward modification, and then have a judge enter an Order to either terminate, or lower, child support. It is the same process for alimony.
He has to prove that a substantial change in circumstances has occurred to justify the modification. This is not supposed to be a voluntary change.
If you opt to proceed without the assistance of counsel, be aware that you will not be entitled to a �do over� if things go badly.
The above information is provided without any consideration/payment having been received, and without full knowledge of all of the facts.
An internet inquiry is no substitution for an in-office consultation with an attorney.
If your situation falls within the Greater Tampa Bay area, I would be happy to schedule you for a no obligation half hour office consultation. The main office is in Dunedin, with a satellite location in Tampa.
