The Court bases child support on income. If your ex is making less and he notifies the court he is making less by filing a motion for modification, then the court will lower his support.
The new support can be based upon his unemployment income.
If the Court thinks that he is willfully unemployed or underemployed, the Court can order him to look for work and monitor his progress to get a new job.
