You may have to ask a Kansas lawyer that question.

If you can get your case transferred to Florida, then it is possible to have your support reduced, although you should realize that child support tends to be calculated much higher in Florida than in most states. If you can't pay your court-ordered support (whether recalculated or not), then, under Florida law, you can have assets seized, have your driver's license and passport suspended, and even be put in jail.
