Re: Child Support
No, you will not get the reduction. In my experience the court will impute income to you at the prior level since you "quit" your job.

Re: Child Support
Probably not since "quitting" is voluntary. If you really want to do this, I suggest you consult with an attorney.

If you reduction in income is the result of your voluntary act you do not get a support reduction.

If you quit your job and the Court finds that it was done willfully to avoid the support obligation, the Judge may deny your application for Downward Modification.
