Re: child support modification
Child support can always be modified so long as there is a "substantial change of circumstances," which pretty much means that either party's income has gone up or done by more than 15%.
Re: child support modification
Thank you for your question. In Florida, generally to modify child support, you must file a Supplemental Petition to Modify Child Support.
If you have a change in your regular income and as a result it has decreased, then you may be able to file such a petition.
If you do not have an attorney, please see the forms and instructions on the Florida Supreme Court site referenced below.

Good luck.
