Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

This is regarding Family Law. I am trying to modify the amount of Child Support to be paid based on the fact I lost my job over a year ago. I filed a motion for Modification and Met Mandatory Disclosure. The other party has not met mandatory disclosure and I filed a motion to Compel discovery which was granted by the courts. At the hearing for motion to compel the discovery the other party did not show up and the judge did not mention as to what degree of sanctions would be imposed it Disclosure was not met. The motion required the other party to meet mandatory disclosure within 30 days. The 30 days has since passed and Mandatory disclosure still has not been met. I am trying to figure out the next step. Should I file another motion to compel or should I file a motion to enact sanctions. I am lost.
