Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

I live in FL and divorced in July 2007. I have been unemployed for about 1 year since that time. I was told I would have to wait 3 years to modify the child support payments. My questions are twofold:

(1) Are my chances likely of getting the child support payments increased? and (2) Based on the housing market in 2007 in FL and what it is now in 2010, can I get a modification of the additional $40,000 (I already paid $70K) I am court ordered to pay next year based on the value of my home drastically dropping?
