In New York and in most states, child support and visitation can always be modified.

If you had an attorney during the divorce, he/she should have informed you about the possibility of future modifications.

Child support cannot be "waived" by anyone. The court requires child support to be paid. If you had a lawyer take care of your divorce, he would/should have told you this.
