Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

I have full custody of my 8 yrs old son. My ex-husband spends time with his son every other weekend. I was thinking about taking my ex-husband back to court so the he spends more time out the week(3 or 4 days) with my son. I'm currently working full time and school part time and feel that I need help with my son. The sad thing is that my ex-husband lives across the street from me and dont help me with our son. I want to know if this would affect my child support in anyway.
