Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

Deeding house to ex in lieu of child support payments
I recently got divorced and was ordered by the court to pay $375 monthly to the court for child support for my 16 year old son. I have moved to a different state and am living with my sister. I have been trying for over 4 months to find employment and honestly do not have any money to make these payments. I do not even have a vehicle. My divorce papers state that if my ex sells the house that I am entitled to 45% of the profit. My question is if I deed the house to her can I make that a stipulation stating that I am giving up my interest in the house and in turn I will not have to make any child support payments. My ex is willing to do this, but we were not sure since this was ordered through the courts that we could do that on our own without having to go back through the courts again.
Thank you

It cannot be done without court approval. Even then, should circumstances change the court may modify the order.
