Re: child support/alimony payment
If you are talking about spousal support you might be able to obtain a reduction due to a significant
change in circumstances. If you are talking about child support, you will continue to pay more or less the same amount of support because the more parents earn the more child support is required. The children are entitled to the greater support their mother's working affords. It is only if your income has been significantly and permanently reduced by cirmstances beyound your control that you child support obligation can be changed.
In any event my opinion is based on the rather scanty information which your question provides and
could be different if I knew more.
